Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • This is the fabulous lemon zester I used to make this recipe.
