Char-Grilled Salmon Sandwich with Lemon-Dill Mayo
  1. 1

    Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning now and then, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Evenly coat the salmon with olive oil.

  3. 3

    Cook on the preheated grill, skin-side down, for about 5 minutes; flip and cook on the other side until the skin easily lifts off the flesh, about 5 minutes more. Flip again and continue cooking until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Whisk the mayonnaise, dill, and lemon zest together in a small bowl; divide and spread onto 2 toasted bread slices. Top each with 1 portion salmon, 2 tomato slices, 2 bacon strips, 1 lettuce leaf, and the remaining toasted bread slice.
