SALMON PESTO FOCACCIA SANDWICHES
I'm lucky I don't ever have to use canned salmon, so I use grilled fresh salmon leftovers for this great sandwich. My recipe source here is the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute who acknowledged Edwina Gadsby of Great Falls, Montana. This recipe was 1 of 6 winners of the "LUV SALMON SO MUCH" recipe contest & it's a winner in my book too. This makes a very good brunch or luncheon item, but is also esp good for TO GO occasions because of its easy portability & the fact the sandwinches can be made up to 6 hrs in advance. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to focaccia sandwiches, so get creative and try different combinations of ingredients.
- Make sure the focaccia bread is fresh. Stale bread will make for a dry and unappetizing sandwich.
- Spread a thin layer of olive oil on the bread before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
- Don't overload the sandwich. Too many ingredients will make it difficult to eat and will overwhelm the flavors.
- Use a variety of textures and flavors. A good focaccia sandwich will have a combination of soft and crunchy textures, as well as a mix of sweet and savory flavors.
- Serve the sandwich immediately. Focaccia sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
