Ingredients

1 6- or 7-ounce can of wild salmon
1 hard-cooked egg, finely chopped
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
4 teaspoons finely chopped celery
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 leaves lettuce
4 slices good soft white bread or whole-wheat bread
2 to 4 slices ripe tomato, optional

Steps:

Drain salmon, and if it contains skin and bones, remove them (for a more neutral taste, run drained salmon under warm water.) Add egg, relish, celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice and salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly, mashing the salmon while mixing.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of each of two slices of bread. Add tomato, if desired; top with salmon mixture.
