"A nice twist on a fish sandwich. It isn't difficult, and just takes a few minutes to pull together all the ingredients. These are also delicious served as sliders (appetizers) for a party or game night. Prep time does not include marinating time."

Original is 4-8 servings

Step 1

Wasabi Mayonnaise ... Add the mayonnaise, wasabi, and scallions to a small bowl and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2

Salmon ... Add the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and olive oil to a ziploc bag or non-reactive (glass) bowl, and mix. Add the salmon, seal the bag, or cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes. I don't like to marinate much longer than 1 hour. Otherwise, I find the marinade to be too strong. Once it is done marinating, remove from the refrigerator to take the chill off and season with pepper.

Step 3

Cucumber Salad ... Add the cucumber, (optional radishes), onion, rice wine vinegar, and sugar to a small bowl and toss to combine. Season with a pinch of both salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes prior to serving. This can marinate as your salmon marinates.

Step 4

Grilling ... I prefer a grill pan for this, to get those nice grill marks; but, you can also use a saute pan if that is all you have. Bring the pan to medium high - high heat. Add the salmon, flesh side down and cook for 4-5 minutes; flip, and cook skin side down for another 3-4 minutes. Cooking times can really vary depending on the thickness of the salmon. You want the salmon, firm, but still tender, and moist in the center.

Step 5

Sandwich ... Now, I prefer to toast the rolls, but it is not necessary, just a personal preference. Spread the mayonnaise on the bottom roll and top with a lettuce leaf. Then, add the salmon fillet, some of the cucumber onion salad (making sure to use a slotted spoon, so you don't get any of the liquid), finish with another lettuce leaf, and the top bun, also slathered with the mayonnaise.

Step 6

Serve and ENJOY! ... I love sweet potatoes fries on the side. But, onions rings or potato salad would make a nice side with this sandwich. And don't forget ... these make fantastic sliders for a party, potluck, or game night.
