Salmon and Arugula Sandwich

A trip to whole foods and the rest of inspiration for this dish came with whatever else was in my fridge.  A salmon burger which I cooked in extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice and whole cracked peppercorn.  I started the salmon patty with a quick high heat sautee on both sides just to give the outside a good crunchy texture.  Once that was complete I placed it in the oven at 350F for about 15 minutes.

Now comes the prepping, so when the burger comes out of the oven all you have to do is layer all the ingredients atop of each other.  Grabbing two slices of sprouted grain bread and adding a few thick cuts of Parmigiano-Reggeano and placing them in the oven just long enough until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is toasted to your liking.  Also grab some roasted red peppers (you can buy the ones that already come bottled up), your favorite goat cheese, peppery arugula, thinly slice tomatoes and (if you can find this at your local whole foods or any other market or grocery store) raw vegan organic arugula basil pesto.

This pesto is pure bliss!  And you can not get anymore healthier than this right here.  It goes really good on seed cracker and with whole wheat pasta.

Now once you have prepped all your ingredients, the bread is toasted and the cheese melted and your salmon burger has fully cooked.  All that is left to do is assemble and then eat this monstrosity of a healthy burger.

Bon appetit!
