Lynn's Greek Salad Salmon Muffaletta
3/4 lb salmon fillet
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbl fresh lemon juice
3 tbl red wine vinegar
4 x garlic cloves minced or pressed
1 tsp Dijon-style mustard
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 med tomato cored and sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese - (2 oz)

1/4 sm red onion thinly sliced
1 x regular or 10"-round loaf French bread (abt 1 lb)
Method :
Seafood Alternatives: cooked shrimp, crabmeat, lobster meat, squid rings,
catfish Preheat the broiler. With tweezers or needlenose pliers, remove the
bones from the salmon. Lay the salmon skin-side down on a lightly oiled broiler
pan. Combine the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, mustard, thyme and oregano
in a large bowl. Brush the salmon with 1 tablespoon of the dressing.
Broil, without turning, 2 to 3 inches from the heat until the salmon is just
opaque through the center, about 8 minutes. Take the fish from the pan; remove
and discard the skin.
While the salmon cooks, add the tomato, cheese, olives and onion to the
remaining dressing and gently toss. Cut the loaf of bread in half crosswise.
Hollow out the bottom half by picking out about 1/2 inch of the soft bread.
Spread the vegetable mixture in the hollow and press down gently. Top with with
the salmon, cutting to fit the shape of the bread. Drizzle the remaining
dressing over the cut side of the bread top and press it over the salmon.
Cut into wedges to serve, or wrap snugly in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 1
day.
This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
Comments: Broiled salmon and Greek salad ingredients put a different spin on the
popular Cajun sandwich traditionally filled with olives, cheeses and thinly
sliced meats. This is an easy sandwich to pack along on a picnic.
