This recipe includes superfoods such as:

Salmon, Lemon

Ingredients

2 lemons
1 lb. wild salmon steak(s)
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1/4 c. Mezzetta Non-Pareil Capers
4 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 c. Mezzetta Cream Style Horseradish
fresh ground pepper
1/3 c. Mezzetta Extra Virgin Olive Oil
.13 c. fresh dill
4 c. arugula
1/2 c. red onion
Sea salt (fine)
2 French baguettes (at least 20 inches in length)

Instructions

Zest one lemon, and set aside. Juice the zested lemon and set aside.
Set salmon steaks on a large piece of aluminum foil. Pour half of the lemon juice onto the steaks; thinly slice the other lemon, and place the slices on the tops of the steaks. Wrap the foil around the steaks to seal in a packet, put the packet in a pie plate, and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until just cooked through, approx. 20 minutes. Discard the lemon slices. Set aside to bring to room temperature, and gently break into chunks.
Combine mayonnaise, Mezzetta Non-Pareil Capers, chopped egg, lemon zest, and 1/4 cup of the Mezzetta Cream Style Horseradish in a bowl. Stir to combine. Add freshly ground pepper to taste. Set aside.
Combine the Mezzetta Extra Virgin Olive Oil, remaining lemon juice, and fresh dill in a bowl; whisk together to make a vinaigrette. Start with pouring half of the vinaigrette over the arugula and red onion, and toss to combine and coat; taste, and add more of the vinaigrette as needed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Heat a sandwich grill or a heavy skillet.
Slice bread horizontally; cut the middle of the bread out, leaving 1/2 inch on both top and bottom slices. Brush the sandwich spread on both sides of the bread. Layer sandwich as follows: turkey, salami, prosciutto, black forest ham, cheese, banana peppers, roasted red bell peppers, salt and ground pepper. Close sandwich and cut into 4 equal pieces.
Brush top and bottom of the sandwich with butter. Set sandwich, butter side down in the sandwich grill or skillet. Place a large heavy skillet (or a brick wrapped in foil) on the sandwich to evenly distribute weight. Cook until nicely browned and the cheese is melted, turning once, about 3 or 4 minutes on each side. Repeat for the second sandwich.
