Leftover Salmon Melt image

I use this recipe when I have leftover baked salmon. If I do not think I will have enough for this dish, I add canned salmon. You can also add other ingredients to suit your taste: hard-boiled eggs, minced jalapeno, pickles, celery, etc.

Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
2 cups mashed cooked salmon
¼ cup mayonnaise, or to taste
2 tablespoons capers
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice, or more to taste
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 baguette
1 tomato, sliced, or more to taste
⅓ cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
⅓ cup finely shredded Swiss cheese
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Melt butter in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Let cool slightly.
  • Mix onion and garlic with salmon, mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, mustard, and parsley until combined. Season with more salt and pepper as desired.
  • Slice baguette on a bias into 10 or 12 pieces. Place slices on a baking sheet.
  • Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely that they don't burn. Top bread with the salmon mixture. Add a slice or two of tomatoes to each. Sprinkle mozzarella, Swiss, and Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Broil until cheese is melted and golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
