Salmon Club Sandwich: the Fish Version of the Classic Recipe

The salmon club sandwich is a seafood variation of the classic club sandwich recipe made with grilled chicken or turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and mayonnaise. The version with salmon is more delicate, quicker to prepare since the smoked salmon does not require cooking: it is simply flavored with lemon juice and then enriched with robiola and slices of avocado.

Once all the ingredients are ready, we proceed to make the club sandwich, layer by layer. Usually, bread or sandwich bread is used, removing the crust; if you prefer, you can use wholemeal or cereal bread for a more rustic flavor.

The salmon club sandwich is perfect for a lunch outside of home, a picnic in the park, to serve for an aperitif, a brunch, or a party buffet, and also to bring to the office, divided into smaller triangles. Tasty and irresistible, accompany it with chips and delicious sauces, like mayonnaise or ketchup. Find out how to prepare it by following the step-by-step procedure and advice.
