SALMON BLT SANDWICH

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and extra crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• While the bacon is cooking, place bread on a baking sheet and use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops with olive oil.
• Toast bread, without turning, under the preheated broiler until crispy (like a crouton), about 4 minutes, watching carefully as it toasts. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Add remaining oil to a large skillet with butter. Season salmon with salt and place skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook until skin is crispy and salmon is nearly cooked through, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook until top side of fish is just browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the pan, discard skins, and sprinkle with seasoned salt.
• Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on the untoasted side of a bread slice. Top with 1 salmon fillet, 1 tablespoon pesto, 2 lettuce leaves, 2 tomato slices, 2 slices bacon, 1 slice Havarti cheese, and a slice of bread, toasted-side out. Repeat to assemble remaining sandwich.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Spread the lemon mayonnaise over 1 side of each slice of bread. Arrange the smoked salmon on 4 slices of the bread. Break the bacon in half and put on top of the smoked salmon. Top the bacon with 1/2 cup of arugula and arrange 2 to 3 tomato slices on top of the arugula. Cover with remaining slices of bread, lemon mayonnaise side down.
• Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve.
