Ingredients
- 4 slices thick cut bacon
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill leaves
- 8 (1/2-inch thick) slices multigrain bread
- 6 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 cup arugula, divided
- 2 large or 3 medium tomatoes, sliced
Directions
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Spread the lemon mayonnaise over 1 side of each slice of bread. Arrange the smoked salmon on 4 slices of the bread. Break the bacon in half and put on top of the smoked salmon. Top the bacon with 1/2 cup of arugula and arrange 2 to 3 tomato slices on top of the arugula. Cover with remaining slices of bread, lemon mayonnaise side down.
Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve.

My husband has a lot of trust in my ability to recognize the makings of a tasty sandwich, but he admitted that he worried I was about to adulterate a perfectly good BLT. After finishing his first sandwich, then going back for a second, he claims Giada's Smoked Salmon BLT may have ruined regular BLTs for him forever. The smoked salmon flavor blended so well with the bacon, and the lemon/dill mayo was a perfect condiment. A shout-out to Whole Foods 365 mayo...I'm not sure my homemade mayo can compare. Even their light version (which I didn't use this time--went for the whole fat stuff is very, very good.

Super yummy lunch. This was my first experience with smoked salmon. I'm hooked! Great flavor combos. I was nuts about that lemon dill mayo. I have used that element with other dishes of my own. I made one half of my sandwich on toasted bread and the other non-toasted. I think the flavors of the whole grain bread were more present after toasting and the crunch was a nice addition as well.
