Nutrition per Serving
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.
