Contributed By: EatingWell

Forget the Filet-O-Fish; this may be the perfect fish sandwich. Blackening seasoning and sliced red onion add a little kick and the creamy avocado spread melts in your mouth. Make it a Meal: Serve with steamed asparagus or sautéed zucchini, oven fries and a salad.

Ingredients

1 pound Salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 4 portions
2 teaspoons Blackening or Cajun seasoning (see Ingredient note)
1 Small avocado, pitted
2 tablespoons Reduced-fat mayonnaise
4 Crusty whole-wheat rolls, split and toasted
1 cup Arugula
2 Plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Thinly sliced red onion

Preparation

1. Oil grill rack, preheat grill to high.

2. Rub blackening (or Cajun) seasoning on both sides of salmon. Grill until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

3. Mash together avocado and mayonnaise in a small bowl.

4. To assemble sandwiches, spread the avocado mixture on the bottom half of each roll. Top with the salmon, arugula, tomato and onion.

Cook's Notes

Tip: Ingredient note: Cajun seasoning is a spice blend that usually includes cayenne and black pepper, salt, thyme, garlic and onion powder and paprika. Look for it in the spice section of the supermarket. To oil a grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
