Grilled Salmon & Cheddar Sandwiches

Grilled Salmon & Cheddar Sandwiches recipe image
These grilled salmon and cheddar sandwiches are a comforting twist on the classic melt. Canned salmon is flaked and mixed with tangy lemon juice, fresh grated onion, and creamy mayonnaise to create a rich, savory spread. Layered between thick slices of bread and topped with sharp cheddar cheese, the sandwiches are buttered and grilled until the exterior is crisp and golden brown while the inside melts into a gooey, flavorful center. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a satisfying lunch, they offer a hearty meal that feels indulgent yet simple to prepare. The combination of smoky grilled notes and bright citrus cuts through the richness of the cheese and mayo beautifully.
