Begin by seasoning salmon filet with salt and pepper to taste and set aside. Continue prepping by slicing tomato, mincing garlic, and zesting lemon.
Next, place the bacon on a skillet and cook over medium heat until it reaches your preferred level of crispiness. Carefully place slices of bacon on a paper towel then remove excess grease on skillet.
Once the pan is clear, set the grill to medium-high heat, brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking and add the salmon filet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, reaching desired level of doneness.
While salmon is grilling, create the lemon garlic aioli by combining ½ cup mayonnaise, minced garlic, ½ teaspoon lemon zest, 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice – whisk ingredients together while adding salt and pepper to taste.
Toast each slice of bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by laying out the toasted bread slices, add lemon garlic aioli to each side of bread, then layer with grilled salmon, bacon, tomato slices, and fresh lettuce.
Serve and enjoy!
