This salmon sandwich is not your average salmon recipe…Packed with wholesome ingredients, it makes a satisfying lunch or dinner and it’s a recipe you definitely need in your life. You just never knew about it.

Okay, so this salmon sandwich recipe will work as a wrap or even lettuce wrap as well. In fact, it might be better as a wrap. Or in a pita. Whatever you choose – this is a fragrant, satisfying AMAZING salmon recipe that will pop up in your daydreams about food multiple times a day without any warning. And you’ll just have to make it again and again and again.

Which is good, because the salmon sandwich is also healthy. We’ll put that yogurt garlic sauce to use, we’ll load on some healthy fats from the salmon and we’ll get some much needed antioxidants from all the vegetables.

How it comes together

To make everything simple and simple, you won’t have to first sear the salmon and then add the vegetables – it all pretty much happens simultaneously in one pan. And it’s light, satisfying and super, SUPER satisfying.

We didn’t cook the fish too long and we added lots of vegetables and herbs like rosemary to prevent the formation of advanced glycation endproducts during cooking. Those make you age faster and cause wrinkles, so no thanks.

Health Benefits

This salmon recipe is rich in omega 3’s, protein, fiber, antioxidants and is in fact anti-inflammatory, because of the high content of omega-3’s from fish and phytochemicals from the vegetables.

To make it gluten-free and even healthier use a leaf of something green (like lettuce) to wrap the whole thing in it. And if you want to make this recipe paleo – make this sauce or this one instead of the yogurt garlic sauce.

Okay, now on to the recipe.
