How to cook healthy and lowfat-- salmon sandwich

Not sure what to put on the BBQ? Tired of hamburgers and hotdogs and looking for something tasty AND healthy? Salmon sandwiches are the perfect choice!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Fresh piece of salmon (go for Pacific salmon, if possible)
• Onion or keyser rolls (try wheat or multi-grain)
• dijon mustard
• red onion
• fresh dill
• lettuce
• bbq
• lemon
• salt & pepper
• honey (optional)
• soy sauce (optional)

1. BBQ the salmon. The best way to cook salmon is on the BBQ. Salmon can be cooked in a variety of ways. However, there are two ways that make for the best salmon sandwiches: with and without a special secret marinade.
   
   OPTION 1 WITHOUT MARINADE: Cook the salmon on the grill and add nothing to it except a few squirts of fresh lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Cook the salmon on one side for approximately 5 minutes on a medium to hot BBQ. Since temperatures may vary, watch the salmon closely so that it is still pink in the middle. Do not over cook the salmon!
   
   OPTION 2 WITH MARINADE: marinate the salmon in a tablespoon of honey and a 2 teaspoons of soy sauce. Try to marinate for at least a half hour. Once marinated, place the salmon on the grill and add a little pepper to the top of it. Cook throughout, but do not over cook- make sure it is still slightly pink and flakey inside.
2. Slice the red onion, chop up some fresh dill and cut up some lettuce (you can also add some tomatoes if you'd like).
   
   Place your onion or kaiser rolls on the grill so that they are a little toasted
3. When the salmon is ready, take it off the grill and place it onto your bun. If you like dijon mustard add dijon to your bun.
   
   Top the salmon with a little fresh dill. Add the onion and lettuce to your bun and VOILA! Your salmon sandwich is ready.

Tips & Warnings

• If your salmon is very fresh, go for the simple grill technique without the marinade
• Opt for a whole wheat roll instead of white; complex carbs are better for you!
• Make a small side salad with the lettuce, fresh dill, chives and a little olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
• Watch your salmon closely, you don't want to over or under cook it.
• Eating undercooked or raw seafood can be dangerous
