Barbecue Salmon Sandwich with Yogurt Spread

I am really excited to share this recipe with you today. It is one of my favorite things that we have made lately. Along with this. You need balance in your life. Salmon + loads of brownie pudding = a VERY good thing.  This idea just kind of popped into my head and we decided to go with it. Luckily, it turned out way better than we could have imagined. In fact, my Mom called it the best sandwich she has ever had. I hate to call anything the BEST but it was seriously good.

We eat a lot of greek yogurt in our house. We stopped eating sour cream and instead replace it with Greek yogurt. It pretty much goes with anything. In this sandwich the greek yogurt adds a nice creaminess. I think that the key to this sandwich is getting a nice crust on the salmon. When you bite into you get little bits of crispiness. It is kind of like having a nice bark on a pulled pork sandwich. When you are cooking the salmon do not keep flipping it. Let it cook about 4 minutes per side in order to develop that crust. I really hope you give this one a try.

Here is what you’ll need

Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper

Cook the salmon about 4 minutes per side

Combine the yogurt and gorgonzola

Spread the ciabatta with the spread and add the spinach, onions, and tomatoes

Coat the salmon with barbecue sauce

Add the salmon to the sandwich

This definitely makes it to “Kara’s Favorites”
