Ingredients
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Grated zest of half a lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup, plus 2 tablespoons, mayonnaise
15 ounces canned skinless, boneless salmon, drained and broken into pieces
¼ cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon chopped chives
10 slices white bread
2 ½ tablespoons butter, softened
Preparation
- Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the red onion, lime juice and zest and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk in the mayonnaise; then fold in the salmon, celery, capers and chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Butter each slice of bread on one side. Place a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Toast the bread, butter side down, until browned. Spread the salmon salad on the untoasted side of half the slices. Top with the other slices, buttered side up.

Add a little hot sauce
Can somebody explain what "Wild Planet wild king" is?
I dispensed with the pickled onion and used some leftover salmon with capers, fresh dill, spring onion celery, mayo, a dash of sriracha and squeeze of lime on black bread with sliced tomatoes.
I just made one of the best sandwiches of my entire life, riffing on this recipe. I pickled some scallions in the lime and salt and pepper and after 5 minutes added some coleslaw mix to it (I don’t like raw celery.) Then I mixed a can of salmon with the magic combo of soy sauce, sesame oil and maple syrup. I added the pickled slaw to salmon, and then added mayo and more of the magic combo. I griddled some potato bread and served the salmon salad open faced on two slices. Amazing!
Polly, Wild Planet is a brand of canned tuna and salmon. Am assuming “king” refers to king salmon. My market in PA Offers their king pink salmon and sockeye from Wild Planet. $7.49 for king pink and $11.19 for Wild sockeye. 6 oz cans so a premium product.
