Blackened Salmon Sandwich

Blackened salmon is great in a sandwich with a spread of mashed avocado and low-fat mayonnaise plus peppery arugula leaves, cool tomato slices and zesty red onion. We grill our Cajun-style salmon so there is no need for any added cooking oil. Catfish makes an excellent stand-in for the salmon but you'll want to use a grill basket if you have one to keep the fish from breaking apart.

This is a great, quick after work meal. Really simple but a great combination of flavors. cathy, Jericho, VT	8 weeks 4 days ago
This is a tasty and easy recipe. I think you could use any rub you like and it would turn out great. My husband doesn't like cajun seasoning on fish as he think it makes it taste more fishy. But I would still use a spicy rub. Also added garlic and cilantro to the avocado sauce. Used baby lettuce instead o arugula since I don't like arugula. Perfect week night meal with some veggies on the side. I used whole wheat burger buns from Trader Joes and they were perfect with it. Cara, Bellingham, WA	8 weeks 4 days ago
YUMMY. I made this for my husband, mother, and father, and we all loved it. I get bored of cooking salmon the same way, so I tried this method, and it was a success! Will make many times again! Stasi, Lakewood, CO	8 weeks 4 days ago
This has become my favorite sandwich of all time. Wonderful flavors. Larry Williamson, Greenville, SC	8 weeks 4 days ago
This was absolutely delicious and a nice change from regular grilled or broiled salmon. The only change we made was using regular mayo instead of reduced-fat but I seriously doubt that that made that big of a difference in taste. , FL	8 weeks 4 days ago
This was great! The only change I made was using romaine lettuce instead of the aragula since I'm not much a fan. My dad added hot sauce to the avacodo spread, commenting that it could use "more of a kick", but it's versatile enough to suit everyone's needs. Definately a keeper! :) Sarah , MA	8 weeks 4 days ago
Excellent. One of my favorite salmon recipes. I made this several times and recommend this one as a keeper. Sometimes I substitute baby spinach for the arugula. A great weeknight meal or casual get together with friends. Michael, Vancouver, BC	8 weeks 4 days ago
This is amazing...and you can do it inside on a cast iron grill pan if you want. I'm not crazy about salmon, but my partner loves it...I actually made this for her, but I liked it just as much! Beware, though - it is MESSY to eat. Suzanne, San Diego, CA	8 weeks 4 days ago
Great for a weekend company meal and very filling. If using a grill pan, toast the whole wheat rolls first and the grill pan is still clean to do the salmon. —Ginny	11 weeks 5 days ago
