Preparation

Step 1

1. In a bowl, mix capers and dill together. Add mayonnaise and zest.

2. Set oven to broil. Combine garlic and butter in a small skillet and cook over medium heat until garlic is softened but not browned.

3. Slice bread lengthwise and set on a sheet pan. Brush garlic butter mixture on cut sides of bread.

4. Heat a non-stick skillet on medium-high. Season salmon with salt and pepper. When skillet is hot, sear salmon for approximately 5 minutes per side. For extra-thick filets, reduce heat slightly to allow fish to cook through without burning.

5. Place bread about 4 inches below broiler and toast to light golden brown. Remove from oven.

6. Place ½ cup greens on each bread base, add a thin layer of sliced onion, top with salmon, add a generous dollop of caper-dill mayo, and top with other bread half. Mix remaining salad greens and sliced onion with your favourite vinaigrette and serve alongside sandwiches.
