Salmon BLTs
It’s July 4th weekend and we can’t think of a better meal to celebrate with! We’ve used @secretislandsalmon to make these mouthwatering sandwiches that are just perfect for enjoying this holiday weekend. We grilled the @secretislandsalmon and layered it on toasted ciabatta bread along with thick cut applewood bacon, fresh heirloom tomatoes and a slathering of mayo. These are the perfect bites for your holiday bbq. Using @secretislandsalmon makes the prep so easy since each piece is individually sealed to lock in all that freshness. This salmon is harvested at its peak and guaranteed deliciousness in every bite. @secretislandsalmon makes ordering so easy and it can be on your doorstep within days.

it’s not a patriotic holiday weekend until we've constructed the perfect sandwich. And a BLT in the summer on a holiday weekend is always a good idea. This one is a BLT, but it’s an elevated BLT. Because it is loaded and layered with a grilled scallion mayo, romaine lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, crispy applewood bacon, AND grilled salmon smothered in a bacon jam. Garnished with a little fresh basil and sprinkled with flaky sea salt.
I don’t know about you guys, but I am always looking for ways to make a decadent BLT and this might just be my favorite yet. I love BLTs so any way that I can make them fancy, decadent, and even more delicious always gets me so excited. And seafood in the summer is the perfect way to elevate your BLT.
And in my opinion, holiday weekends always need fun foods like this. These sandwiches were one of my favorite foods of the weekend so far. But it’s only Friday, so you’re going to have to stay tuned for the rest of our weekend eats !! Saturday is farmers market day…so more seafood !! Maybe another salmon dish?! We will see !! Oh and don’t forget your cocktail with this one…I am enjoying my favorite tropical drink, rum and orange juice…cheers !!
