Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat an indoor ridged grill or outdoor grill over medium heat. Lightly spray the grill grates with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Pat the 4 salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides evenly with 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the hot grill. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. While the salmon grills, prepare the sauce. In a small nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and 1 pinch of cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until the sauce boils and reduces slightly. Remove from heat.
  6. To assemble, place 4 slices of pumpernickel bread on a plate. Divide 1 1/2 cups of Boston lettuce leaves and 1/2 cup of sliced plum tomatoes evenly over the bread.
  7. Place one grilled salmon fillet on top of the lettuce and tomato on each sandwich. Drizzle the warm garlic relish sauce evenly over the salmon. Serve immediately.
