Description
Crispy Salmon Sandwiches with Spicy Lemon Tartar Sauce come together quickly and satisfy with a delicious mix of the textures and flavors: crispy, salty, creamy, tangy, and ever so slightly sweet.
Ingredients
3 medium salmon fillets
1/4 cup high-heat oil, such as avocado
salt
3 fluffy rolls, such as brioche
SAUCE
1/2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 TB sweet pickle relish
1 TB fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 TB (or more or less, to taste) hot sauce of your choice (we use Smoked Chipotle Tabasco or Frank’s Red Hot)
Two dashes of Thai fish sauce or Worcestershire
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry and sprinkle generously with salt. Heat a heavy bottomed pan over a medium-high flame. Add oil and allow to heat until shimmering, then carefully add the salmon fillets, skin side up. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, until a deep brown crust has formed and the fillets release easily from the pan. Flip over and allow to cook on the skin side until the skin is crisp and the fillets are just cooked through, another minute or so. Remove fillets to a paper-towel lined plate and allow to drain.
Meanwhile, make the sauce: simply add all ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
Spread each roll with a generous dollop of tartar sauce, then carefully add the salmon fillets. Top with avocado and lettuce and serve with crispy potato chips.
