Summer cooking: Grilled salmon sandwiches
For the next several installments (I'm committing to more than three, but nothing definite beyond that), "One Teaspoon from Disaster" is featuring summer-time cooking. Whether it's an easy dinner on the grill, a bbq with friends or a packable picnic, you'll find recipes for an entrée, side dishes, treats and drinks right here. This ought to get you through Labor Day.
First up are grilled salmon sandwiches. The only labor intensive part of making and grilling these patties is separating the fish from its skin. I now know there's an easy way to do this: Buy it skinless.
Beyond that, all you're doing is mashing it with some other stuff, shaping it into a patty (about one-inch thick) and grilling it for a few minutes on each side. Before spreading the special mayo on the buns (I bought whole wheat mini loaves from the bakery), toast them on the grill. You may want to garnish the sandwich with tomato, lettuce or even a slice of crispy bacon.
