Mediterranean Salmon Sandwich - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon steaks or fillets
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup artichoke hearts marinated in olive oil, chopped
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup of kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1 fire roasted red bell pepper, peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 4 focaccia rolls or 1 large roll with Italian herbs, cut into 4 (4 to 5-inch) squares
Instructions
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, place the salmon steaks in the pan and cook until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, mix the artichoke hearts, red onion, olives, bell pepper, parsley, lemon juice, and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl.
- Once the steaks are cooked, remove from heat. Let the salmon steaks cool. Remove the skin and bones, if any and shred the meat using 2 forks. Mix the cooled meat with the artichoke mixture in the bowl. Season it with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut the focaccia bread in half lengthwise; then warm them up on a griddle. Next, take the filling and spoon it onto the warm focaccia, set the tops in place. Cut the sandwiches diagonally in half, and serve. Delicious!
- Cook's Note: It tastes a lot better if you make the filling ahead of time to let the flavors combine. The bread is very important. It's a lot better to use the kind with Italian herbs.
