I'm lucky I don't ever have to use canned salmon, so I use grilled fresh salmon leftovers for this great sandwich. My recipe source here is the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute who acknowledged Edwina Gadsby of Great Falls, Montana. This recipe was 1 of 6 winners of the "LUV SALMON SO MUCH" recipe contest & it's a winner in my book too. This makes a very good brunch or luncheon item, but is also esp good for TO GO occasions because of its easy portability & the fact the sandwinches can be made up to 6 hrs in advance. Enjoy!

SERVES 4 , 4 Sandwiches (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (14 3/4 ounce) can salmon
1/2 cup pesto sauce
1/2 cup red onion (finely chopped)

4 tablespoons mayonnaise (reduced fat)
2 teaspoons lemon peel (finely shredded)
1 focaccia bread (8-in round or 1 12-in French bread)
romaine lettuce leaf (as desired)

Directions

1
Clean salmon of any bony material & place in a med bowl. Add pesto, onion, tomatoes, mayo & lemon peel. Mix well.
2
Split bread choice in half. Layer lettuce leaves on bottom half of bread. Top w/salmon mix & top of bread.

Not your average salmon sandwich. Loved the pesto in this, but then again I love pesto in just about everything. LoL! I used round focaccia bread. Delicious.

Great sandwich recipe!! We loved the combination of pesto, salmon and sun dried tomatoes! Used the whole can for both of us and used two nice slices of a loaf of French bread. My bf added some pickles to the mix. Thanks twissis - those are great!!

Wow are these ever delicious! my DH and DH loved these sandwiches, the combo of pesto and sun-dried tomatoes really adds so much flavor to the salmon, I tripled the amount of canned salmon but still only used 1/2 cup pesto, also I kept the sun-dried tomatoes at 1/3 cup, my family loved this, thanks for sharing twissis!...Kitten
