This smoked salmon panini sandwich with lemon dill mayonnaise is delicious, satisfying and takes almost no time to put together. All you need is 10 minutes and a panini press and a hot meal is served!

Smoked salmon panini with lettuce and dill mayonnaise.

Mayonnaise ingredients:

Mayonnaise, lemon, dill and black pepper.

Salmon sandwich ingredients:

Bread, lettuce and smoked salmon.

How to make the mayonnaise:

The star of this recipe is the lemon dill mayonnaise. It's tangy, dilly and slightly peppery from the freshly cracked black pepper. (The pepper is a very important component, please don't be tempted to skip it.) To make the mayonnaise, simply whisk together mayo, lemon juice, finely chopped fresh dill and black pepper.

How to make the sandwich:

Assemble the sandwiches in the following order:

  1. one slice of bread
  2. lettuce leaf
  3. smoked salmon
  4. lemon dill mayonnaise
  5. second slice of bread
Smoked salmon sandwich preparation in four steps.

How to heat the sandwich:

This sandwich is a bit of a special case because it's delicate and because it tastes best warm but not hot. I recommend to press it very lightly, just enough to grill the bread and warm the stuffing just a tad.

What if I don't have a panini press?

If you don't have a panini press you can make this recipe just as a smoked salmon sandwich but it's definitely better pressed.
