Ingredients
6 thick slices bacon
6 slices country white bread, sliced from loaf
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 (5-ounce) piece salmon, skin removed

1 beef steak tomato, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Lemon Mayonnaise:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 lemon, juiced

Directions
- Cook the bacon over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Wipe the skillet with paper towels or a clean tea towel. Add the bread slices and toast until golden brown.
- Pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat another nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Once hot, add the salmon and cook about 3 minutes per side.
- Spread the Lemon Mayonnaise on 2 pieces of bread. Season the tomato with salt and pepper, to taste. Add some lettuce, tomato, bacon and the cooked salmon fillet to 1 bread slice and cover with the other slice. Cut the sandwich in half on the diagonal and hold in place with a decorative toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients and arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter.
