Smoked Salmon BLT

blt5.jpg

I appreciate a good Caesar salad, but when it really comes down to it, I’m a sandwich girl.  I’ve long been a fan of BLTs (bacon, lettuce and tomato) and when I heard Giada’s spin on this classic, I knew I had to give it a try.  With a refreshing dill and lemon mayonnaise, bacon, smoked salmon, tomato and arugula on whole grain bread, it’s hearty and amazingly flavorful.  You can find the recipe here, but I would highly recommend Ina’s no-fail method of roasting bacon.

ha! I’m going to end up writing pretty much exactly the same message as above, but a day later.
It’s 11:30 in France and now I want one of these!
I don’t eat meat so it will be sans bacon, but I love a bit of salmon…

11 Sarah { 09.10.09 at 4:59 am }

spooky. i made exactly the same thing last night, too. (and it’s spooky because I used Ina’s roasting method, too. And I used Norwegian smoked salmon – Ina’s preferred style.)

And this was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever made. So delicious!

12 Adriana { 09.10.09 at 5:04 am }

we are so on the same page with this one! I grew up on these lovelies, I adore the dill and lemon mayonaise part, something to change it up from the regular aoli..yummmmm!

13 Claire { 09.10.09 at 5:06 am }

That looks so delicious. I love BLT and I love salmon so I just have to try this. I live in England and I watch Ina’s shows all the time. Her recipes are so good!

17 Sarah { 09.10.09 at 6:07 am }

I never cook… like ever, but if I did I would want it to look like that!

(Why do I like food porn and hate cooking? What’s wrong with me?)

18 Dana Cordova { 09.10.09 at 6:11 am }

Your food photography is always so beautiful! What’s your secret?

32 southern hostess { 09.10.09 at 9:28 am }

Yum! This looks like the perfect lunch.

33 Newlywed Chefette { 09.10.09 at 10:06 am }

That looks incredible! My grandmother & mom do the bacon that way, too — it’s hard to beat. Husband loves smoked salmon, so we’ll have to try this. I think I’ll add some avocado, too, just because it’s delicious!

34 Rachel (Heart of Light) { 09.10.09 at 10:07 am }

Yum! I’m addicted to the uncured applewood smoked bacon from Whole Foods. It is so, so good.

35 Dee { 09.10.09 at 10:23 am }

HOLY WOW. this looks divine!

36 Vanessa { 09.10.09 at 10:25 am }

Oh, Emily… Now you’ve done it. I need this now!

40 mary { 09.10.09 at 12:36 pm }

I just recently saw this episode and thought the same thing…how awesome does this sandwich look?! I’m glad you tried it — now I’m definitely going to make it.

41 The Budget Babe { 09.10.09 at 12:52 pm }

woa bacon and salmon? this is blowing my mind. must try!

42 meg { 09.10.09 at 1:30 pm }

I”m a BLT fan too and love trying new twists on the classic; this looks fantastic! Last weekend, while in Charleston SC, I tried a very tasty southern version that I would recommend too. It was made with a fried green tomato and blue crab aoli– so good!

43 Keely { 09.10.09 at 1:47 pm }

Mmmm that sounds heavenly! I am definitely a BLT kind of girl, and smoked salmon probably makes a good addition to most recipes. Yum.

44 Beth { 09.10.09 at 6:22 pm }

BLT is probably my favorite sandwich, so I am going to have try this remix. Yum Yum!

45 Hola!Design { 09.10.09 at 6:38 pm }

YUM!!

46 breezy { 09.10.09 at 6:56 pm }

i definitely watched that giada episode… and not only did it make me crave a salmon BLT it made me want to join a community garden!

p.s. have an amazing time at fashion week! can’t wait to hear details.

47 Lexie { 09.10.09 at 8:40 pm }

48 Judy { 09.10.09 at 8:57 pm }

49 Jules { 09.10.09 at 10:17 pm }

I love Ina’s bacon technique too. She is never wrong!

51 Kate { 09.11.09 at 8:32 am }

I love salmon BLT’s. BLTs are great on their own, but adding a fish really kicks it up a notch. I don’t know if you ever go to Trader Joe’s, but they just started carrying these smoked salmon and spinach crepes in the frozen aisle that are insanely delicious.

52 Melissa { 09.11.09 at 10:32 am }

Ooh, thanks for sharing! I’m always trying to find recipes that my boyfriend will be guaranteed to love, and I think he enjoys every ingredient involved in this sandwich.

53 Emily { 09.12.09 at 2:53 am }

Ooh that looks so good. I am imagining eating it right. this. second.! Yum. I like the addition of dill very much.

54 pam { 09.12.09 at 7:46 am }
