BLTs are delicious, no doubt! Adding salmon makes them more filling, adds healthy omega-3 fats to the meal and makes it even more delicious. If we have leftover salmon from the night before, this is my favorite way to reuse it. Add chopped fresh basil to your sandwich stack if you have it on hand.
Makes 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 sprouted grain or whole wheat rolls, or 4 slices bread
- 6 oz salmon filet
- 2 tbsp dijon or spicy mustard, divided
- 1 tsp Mrs. Dash Original spice blend
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- Lettuce leaves or chopped lettuce

Make it
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix 1 tbsp mustard with the Mrs. Dash seasoning in a small bowl. Spread mix onto the top of the salmon filet.
- On a large baking sheet, lay 2 pieces of foil. Lift the sides of the foil pieces on each side to make 2 separate cooking aread. Put salmon on the foil one side of the baking sheet. Place bacon slices on the other side. Bake in the oven for 10 to 13 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork and bacon is cooked. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Toast bread if wanted. Spread mayo and remaining mustard on bread. Use a paper towel to remove some of the excess grease from the cooked bacon. Stack bread with lettuce, tomato slices and bacon.
- Use a fork to break up salmon filet and remove from skin. Add salmon pieces to sandwich, top with bread slice and serve.
