This Avocado Salmon Sandwich is a brilliant fusion of creamy textures and savory depth. The natural richness of ripe avocado pairs perfectly with the flaky, robust flavor of sockeye salmon, creating a luxurious filling that requires minimal effort. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice cuts through the richness, brightening the overall profile, while process-type Swiss cheese adds a subtle nuttiness and satisfying melt when broiled. The toasted buns provide a sturdy, slightly crisp vessel for these decadent layers. These open-faced style sandwiches are ideal for a quick, elegant lunch or a light dinner that feels indulgent without being heavy. They are particularly wonderful for summer gatherings or as a sophisticated twist on the classic tuna melt. The addition of sesame seeds adds a delightful crunch and visual appeal, making this dish as beautiful as it is delicious.

Directions
-
Preheat the broiler to 475°F.
-
Peel and slice the avocado. Sprinkle the slices with part of the lemon juice to prevent browning.
-
Divide the avocado slices evenly over the bottom halves of the hamburger buns.
-
Break the drained salmon into chunks. Divide the salmon evenly over the avocado slices.
-
Sprinkle the salmon with the remaining lemon juice.
-
Top with the top halves of the buns, then place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each bun.
-
Sprinkle the cheese with sesame seeds.
-
Broil the sandwiches about 8 inches from the heat source until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the sandwiches are heated through.
-
Garnish with dill pickles and serve immediately.
Note
For a heartier meal, add a layer of fresh lettuce or tomato slices before the salmon.
You can substitute the Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
Ensure the salmon is well-drained to prevent the buns from becoming soggy.
These sandwiches are best served hot and fresh off the broiler.
