Lately, especially while out to brunch, I’ve had major lox bagel cravings. But since I’ve focused A LOT on breakfast lately (and I’m not quite ready to test out Tofutti and salmon) I decided to make a lox inspired sammy.
Why is canned salmon so much scarier than canned tuna? I spent an excessive amount of time at the grocery store sorting out the confusion that was canned seafood. You can buy this stuff with bones!? Sick.
FoodFash Salmon Salad Sandwich (yields 2 servings)
1 can of salmon (boneless/skinless)
1/2 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon of capers
1 – 2 tablespoons Vegenaise (reduced fat)
2 slices of sprouted wheat bread
baby spinach leaves
I love toast.
Seriously, everything about toast stuffed with <insert protein> salad and greens is so classic and good.
What’s your favorite salad sandwich recipe?
Yum! I actually buy the pouches of salmon rather than the cans because they seem less scary (and smelly for some reason). They are sold right next to the cans, so you might want to try those next time. 🙂 I make egg salad sandwiches for my husband all of the time, and he loves them. Just combine 6 hard-boiled eggs, 3 tablespoons Vegenaise, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1 tablespoon relish and a dash of pepper. It makes enough for about 3-4 servings.
I’ll definitely look for the pouches next time! It was good, but still weirded me out a bit!
The salmon bones are good for you…full of calcium. Never been a fan of canned salmon (bones or no bones) except the hard to find smoked variety (in oil)–excellent with red wine vinegar.
What do you think Village Health Market uses for their salmon salad??
