The power of the Omega-3 is all stacked up in this amazing Open Faced Salmon and Avocado BLT. I have to admit living in the Pacific Northwest and having a Dad and Brother who are avid fisherman made making this BLT with fresh caught salmon a must. Each bite was just a good if not better than the first. The creamy tarter sauce like spread really is the secret layer to this Open Faced Salmon and Avocado BLT, with a kick of dijon and minced chives it really sets the tone for how delicious this sandwich really is. Don’t worry this BLT is very easy to make and worth the wait. Cooking the salmon in the same skillet as the bacon drippings really gives it a perfect flavor and help to make a sweet, crisp edge, while keeping it nice and moist on the inside.

I chose to mash my avocados up to make more of a guacamole feel to it, but you could thinly slice the avocado and lay it on the sandwich too. However you choose to use the avocado, sliced or guacamole style it adds such a smooth and creamy pièce de résistance. Yet nothing says BLT like sizzling bacon and of course I love to use turkey bacon. Cooked nice and crunchy on the outside, but not too cooked that there is still a little tenderness to it. This Open Faced Salmon and Avocado BLT is spectacular and I hope will be the next catch of the day at your dinner table. xoxo.
