  • 1 Medium bowl
  • 1 grill
  • 1 Wire Brush
  • 1 paper towels
  • 1 Heatproof Spatula

Ingredients

For the Herb Mayonnaise:

  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.75 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Salmon Sandwiches:

  • 4 skinless center-cut salmon fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 4 brioche hamburger buns split
  • 4 butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • Make the Herb Mayonnaise: In a medium bowl, stir together garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, basil, dill, mustard, salt and pepper.
  • Make the Salmon Sandwiches: Brush grill with wire brush to remove any crumbs or crusty bits, then preheat grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat.
  • Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towel. Rub salmon generously on all sides with oil, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Spray grill grates throughly with cooking spray. Place salmon directly on grill grates. Cover grill and cook 4 to 6 minutes or until fish is beginning to turn opaque.
  • Using a heatproof spatula, carefully flip fish. Cover grill and cook 4 to 6 minutes longer or until internal temperature in the thickest part of the fish reaches 125 degrees F. Remove salmon from grill and let stand 5 minutes before building sandwiches.
  • To serve, spread both halves of buns with Herb Mayonnaise. Divide lettuce over bottom halves of buns. Place 1 piece of salmon on each sandwich and top with top halves of buns. Serve immediately.
