Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 4 slices Sourdough bread
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Arugula
• 1 medium (sliced) Tomato
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.

Step 3

Place the salmon on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

While the salmon rests, lightly butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Step 5

Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to make a spread.

Step 6

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place two slices of bread, butter-side-down, in the skillet.

Step 7

Layer a slice of cheddar cheese on each piece of bread in the skillet.

Step 8

Flake the grilled salmon into bite-sized pieces and arrange over the cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Top with arugula and sliced tomato.

Step 10

Spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the unbuttered side of the remaining two slices of bread and place them on top, butter-side-up.

Step 11

Cook the sandwiches in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 12

Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
