Make smoked salmon part of your breakfast with this stunning Eggs Benedict with Easy Hollandaise Sauce! Quick and easy lunch options are a real treasure. It’s too easy to grab the same same things over and over, which means that anything that adds a bit of variety is worth holding on to. A classic like a tuna melt is a great place to start, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take it to the next level! This Hot Cheesy Salmon Sandwich is exactly that, a beautifully elevated melt, that will make for the perfect lunch every time!
Why you’ll love this sandwich
A classic melt sandwich is popular for a reason. It’s simple to make but surprisingly delicious. This version takes the basic approach used for tuna melts but elevates it by using affordable canned salmon, with smoked salmon to add even more complexity and depth. The combination is divine! The salmon salad that acts as the main topping remains juicy and tender because it is cooked so quickly. The layer of sharp, melted cheddar on top provides a salty kick that finishes the salmon melt perfectly!
Serving suggestions
This salmon sandwich with melted cheese is rich and slightly decedent, which means that it goes best with a lighter side. My preference is a simple green salad. To pair it with a slightly more interesting salad, try Summer Tomato Salad with Herbs or a lovely Creamy Dill Cucumber, Radish and Egg Salad. It will also go well with a simple soup like Roasted Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup or classic Cream of Mushroom.
