Salmon BLT Sandwich

Ingredients

• bacon (4 strips)
• sturdy white bread (4 slices)
• olive oil (6 tablespoons)
• salted butter (2 tablespoons)
• salmon fillets (2 .6,)
• salt (1 pinch)
• seasoned salt (1 pinch)
• mayonnaise (2 tablespoons)
• pesto (2 tablespoons)
• Bibb lettuce (4 leaves)
• tomato (4 slices)
• Havarti cheese (2 slices)

Instructions

1. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and extra-crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
3. Meanwhile, place bread on a baking sheet; brush tops lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush.
4. Toast in the preheated broiler until crispy (like a crouton), without flipping, about 4 minutes, watching carefully as it toasts. Remove from oven; set aside.
5. Heat remaining olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Season salmon with salt; place skin-sides down into hot skillet. Cook until skin is crispy and salmon is nearly cooked through, about 6 minutes. Flip; cook until top sides salmon are just browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove salmon from skillet, discard skins, and sprinkle with seasoned salt.
6. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on untoasted sides each bread slice. Top each with 1 salmon fillet, 1 tablespoon pesto, 2 lettuce leaves, 2 tomato slices, 2 slices bacon, 1 slice Havarti cheese, and 1 bread slice, untoasted-sides down.
