Salmon BLT with Spicy Garlic Mayo
- 4 ounces, weight Salmon Fillet, Thawed If Frozen
- 1 dash Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- 1 dash Creole Seasoning (like Tony Chachere's)
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 2 slices Bread Or A Sandwich Thin
- 2 slices Crispy Bacon
- 2 slices Fresh Tomato
- 4 whole Small Lettuce Or Baby Spinach Leaves
- 3 whole Egg Yolks, Preferably Farm-fresh
- 1/2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Vinegar (I Like Balsamic)
- 2 cloves Garlic Peeled And Quartered
- 3/4 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 2 dashes Hot Sauce Like Tapatio
- 3/4 cups Neutral-flavored Oil, Like Grapeseed Or Canola
- Preheat grill, stove-top grill pan or broiler to medium-high heat.
- Place salmon fillet on a piece of foil (large enough to make a sealed packet).
- Sprinkle with lemon-pepper and creole seasonings.
- Place butter on top of the fillet and fold foil over to seal the packet.
- Place packet on the grill (or in the oven) and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the center has a couple of spots that are still dark.
- Cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the fillet.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before unwrapping.
- Meanwhile, make the mayo.
- In a medium-sized bowl (or a large plastic cup) combine all the ingredients except the oil.
- Insert an immersion blender and give it a quick buzz until its creamy.
- Still continue to blend as you add the oil in a slow drizzle.
- The mixture should thicken after a minute or two.
- If youre using a cup, use up and down motions to bring the emulsion together.
- Adjust seasonings if necessary and store in an airtight container for 2 weeks.
- Makes about 1 cup.
- Assemble the sandwich, spreading the mayo on the bread and assembling with the bacon, tomato, and lettuce.
- Makes 1 sandwich.
- Note: If you dont want to make mayo from scratch, simply grate 1 or 2 fresh garlic cloves into about a cup of mayo.
- Add a dash or two of hot sauce and mix well.
- Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to infuse the mayo with flavor.
- Store covered in the fridge.
