Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise
• 4 slices tomato
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
• 1 (1 pound) fillet salmon, cut into 2 portions
• 4 slices country-style bread, toasted
• 2 green leaf lettuce leaves

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Evenly coat the salmon with the olive oil.

Step 3

Cook the salmon on the preheated grill with the skin side down for about 5 minutes before flipping and cooking on the other side until the skin can easily be lifted off the flesh, about 5 minutes more. Flip the salmon once more and continue cooking until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, another 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4

Whisk the mayonnaise, dill, and lemon zest together in a small bowl; divide between 2 of the toasted bread slices. Top each with 1 portion of cooked salmon, 2 tomato slices, 2 bacon slices, 1 lettuce leaf, and a remaining slice of toasted bread.
