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.

SARASOTA'S GRILLED SMOKED SALMON BLT WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Aioli -- Mix the mayo, basil and lemon zest. Chill until ready to assemble the sandwich. (This can be made ahead).
• Bacon -- Saute the bacon in a small pan on medium heat until crispy and brown. Set to the side on a paper plate with a paper towel so it can drain.
• Prepare Vegetables -- Dice up the avocado and toss with the bacon, and set to the side.
• Tomato Salsa -- I dice the tomatoes and the onions fairly fine. Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar and toss.
• Stuff and Grill -- I like to use chibatta bread cut lengthwise and lightly scooped out, so you have a little room in the sandwich for the fillings. Lightly toasted on the grill or grill pan or in the oven for just a minute to give it crust so it doesn't soak up all the sauce.
• Spread the aioli on the bottom half, top with half the cheese slices, arugula, then the tomato and onion salsa, salmon, avocado and bacon mix, the other half of the cheese and the top bread layer also slathered with the aioli.
• Grill -- You can grill inside or outside. I like to put my cast iron on top as it grills just to give it a little weight to it as it cooks. It just takes 4-5 minutes per side to get golden brown and the cheese melts. Cut in slices and enjoy!
