Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 slices Sourdough bread
• 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub each fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season evenly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the scallions and divide them into two portions. One portion will go into the mayonnaise, and the other can be used as garnish.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with half the chopped scallions, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the pan and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 7

While the salmon rests, toast the sourdough bread slices in the same skillet or a separate toaster. If using the skillet, add the butter and toast each slice until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

To assemble, spread a generous amount of scallion mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread. Place a grilled salmon fillet on top.

Step 9

Garnish with the remaining chopped scallions and serve immediately. Optionally, add a wedge of lemon on the side for extra freshness.
