Cajun Salmon Sandwich

My wife and I are really trying to eat more fish now that the kids are mostly out of the house.  Are go to fish is Salmon.  There are so many ways you can prepare fish.  This preparation lent itself well to a sandwich – a Cajun Salmon Sandwich.  I posted earlier about the trick to cooking good salmon – Tuesday Tips – Cooking Salmon.  The key to this sandwich is obviously to use and make great fish.  But equally important is using really good bread and the making a good sandwich sauce.  The go to sauce for a fish sandwich, especially one where the fish is spiced with Cajun spices, is a Sriracha mayo.

 

 

Ingredients:

• 1 Salmon filet
• 1 tbsp Creole Seasoning
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 piece leaf lettuce
• 1 hard roll
• 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 – 2 tbsp Sriracha
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

I used my cast iron skillet to for cooking the fish.  See this link to get the recipe and how to prepare the perfect salmon.  Assembling the sandwich is so easy.  The only work is making the Sriracha mayo and that isn’t exactly work.  Just take the mayo and Sriracha and mix together in a bowl.  Add a little salt & pepper to taste.  Taste the mixture to see if you have enough spice.  If not, just add more Sriracha.  To finish the meal so you can begin eating, cut the roll in half.  Top with a piece of lettuce.  If you put the lettuce underneath the salmon, the bread will not get soggy.  Finish by drizzling the Sriracha mayo over the fish.  Use as much as you like.

 

Serve and enjoy!
