Open-Faced Salmon Sandwich
Toasted bread adds a nice crunch to this salmon sandwich, so I normally avoid serving it on plain bread.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 3/8 cup (1/2 can) canned water packed salmon, drained
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons part skim ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 slices whole grain bread, toasted
- 2 large lettuce leaves
- 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the salmon, mustard, ricotta and dill. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Top each toast with 1/2 of the mixture, about 1/3 cup.
- Top the salmon with a lettuce leaf and 4 cherry tomatoes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes

A tablespoon of minced chives is delightful and a handful of chopped basil is also a good alternative for the dill. Toasted bread adds a nice crunch to the sandwich, so I normally avoid serving it on plain bread. Garden cherry tomatoes are the best here, however other veggies can be served on top like cucumbers or larger tomato slices. Dijon mustard is a staple that really needs to be given a lot of attention. It seems to do everything! It thickens a vinaigrette, adds a pungent taste and is available everywhere in many forms. I love to try new mustards--made with champagne, beer, apple cider vinegar. I suggest making a point of investigating whatever local mustards are in your area. They are priceless!
