Steps:
- In a bowl, mash the goat cheese with a fork. Add the yogurt, and mix together until smooth. Spread half on one slice of bread, and top with the smoked salmon. Slice the cucumbers very thin, and layer them over the salmon. If desired, season the cucumbers with a little salt and pepper, and squeeze on some lemon juice. Sprinkle the chopped chives or dill over the cucumbers.
- Spread the remaining goat cheese mixture over the other piece of bread. Place on top of the cucumbers, press down and cut the sandwich in half.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught, sustainably-sourced salmon fillets that are about 1-inch thick and have a vibrant orange-pink color.
- Cook the salmon perfectly: To ensure that the salmon is cooked through while maintaining its moist and flaky texture, cook it over medium-high heat until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Use a good-quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is a key component of the lemon mayonnaise, so be sure to use a high-quality mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
- Add some fresh herbs to the lemon mayonnaise: To enhance the flavor of the lemon mayonnaise, add some chopped fresh herbs such as dill, chives, or tarragon.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better to the sandwich fillings and prevent it from getting soggy.
- Layer the sandwich ingredients carefully: To ensure that the sandwich is evenly filled and easy to eat, layer the ingredients carefully, starting with the salmon, then the lemon mayonnaise, the goat cheese, the tomatoes, and the arugula.
Conclusion:
The Cajun salmon sandwich with goat cheese and lemon mayonnaise is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner.
