Ingredients

For the Dill Sauce (Optional):

  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tablespoons minced shallot
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 ½ teaspoon fresh chopped dill
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Generous pinch of black pepper

For the Salmon Sandwiches:

  • 4 (about 4-ounces each ) single-serving salmon fillets, skin on and about ½-3/4" at the thickest part
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 hamburger buns (preferably brioche or potato buns)
  • Lettuce, onions, pickles, and tomatoes for topping, if desired

Instructions

Make the Dill Sauce:

  • Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Cover and transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use.

Make the Salmon:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and have ready a rimmed baking sheet lined with nonstick aluminum foil.
  • Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and place it on the baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the oven and bake for about 6 minutes, or until the center of the salmon flakes with a fork and is cooked through to your liking.

Toast the Buns and Assemble:

  • While the salmon is cooking, prepare the buns. Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to come to temperature.
  • Smear a scant amount of butter across the face of each bun, place it buttered-side down on the skillet, and allow to toast for about 2 minutes in the pan. Prepare in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Once the salmon is slightly cooled, use a thin spatula to separate the salmon from the skin. Assemble your salmon sandwiches with dill sauce and vegetables, as desired. Serve and enjoy.
