Servings: 2
- 1 larger or 2 smaller pieces salmon about 0.75-1 pound total
- Olive oil
Zesty mayo:
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped finely
Other:
- Baguette/rolls/or other bread
- Butter (if toasting bread)
- Arugula to taste
Preheat oven to 375F, move the rack to the top third of the oven, and line a baking sheet with tin foil for easy clean-up.
Place the salmon on the baking sheet and cover it with olive oil (about a teaspoon should be enough). Season the fish with salt and pepper. Bake until it's cooked through, depending on thickness of the fish, about 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the zesty mayo ingredients and set aside.
If desired, you can toast the inside of the bread/buns by adding butter to a skillet and then frying it on medium high heat until it's toasted to your liking.
Assemble the sandwiches by adding the zesty mayo, arugula, and salmon. Serve immediately.
