Salmon Melts Recipes

SALMON MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Heat the butter or oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, seasoning with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Sauté on medium heat until the onions and garlic are softened and cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
• In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the cooked salmon until it's flaky. (You can also used canned salmon or tuna, mash with a fork as well.) Add the cooked onions and garlic, the capers, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, fresh herbs, salt and ground black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
• Place the sliced bread on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast the bread until it's lightly golden. Take out of the oven and use the sliced garlic cloves to rub all over the surface of each of the slices of bread. The garlic will rub right into the toasted bread (the crisp bread will sort of be a grating surface for the garlic). This gives the sandwiches a pleasant and mild garlic flavor without being too overpowering.
• Top the toasted bread with the salmon filling, spreading it out evenly over the bread. Place a slice of tomato and/or avocado on top of the salmon filling and then top with grated cheese.
• Bake in the oven for another 7-10 minutes, until the sandwiches are warmed through and the cheese is melted.

• Lay one slice of bread butter side down in the heated skillet/griddle.
• Quickly assemble the flaked salmon onto the bread, lay swiss cheese on top of that (this will help hold the salmon together once melted), then the onion, and finally place the other slice of bread of top butter side up.

SALMON MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Cut the tomatoes into 8 slices, 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Place in a shallow baking dish or on a small sheet pan. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper, drizzle with the olive oil and put a thyme sprig on top of each. Bake until very tender and lightly browned around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes. Discard the thyme and set the tomatoes aside; keep the oven on.
• Meanwhile, combine the salmon, shallot, celery, mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, lemon juice and all but 2 tablespoons of the scallion greens in a medium bowl. Flake the salmon and stir until combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Arrange the toasted English muffin halves on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with the salmon mixture (about a heaping 1/4 cup per muffin half). Top each with a slice of cheese and a roasted tomato slice and bake until the cheese is just melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with the reserved scallion greens.
