INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the dry-rub by adding the Cajun Creole seasoning with the rest of the ingredients through the pinch of cayenne pepper to a small dish or ramekin; combine with a fork, and set aside for a moment.

Place the salmon fillets onto a large plate or platter, and rub with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the dry-rub ingredients; marinate the fillets for about 20 minutes.

*While salmon marinates, prepare the Lemon Aioli below.

After marinating the salmon, turn the broiler on high and line a baking sheet with foil; drizzle a bit of olive oil onto the foil, and add the salmon fillets; broil the salmon for about 8-9 minutes, or until it is golden brown on top yet still moist in the middle.

Remove salmon from broiler and set side; prepare the sandwiches by spreading about 1 tablespoon of the Lemon Aioli onto each half of a toasted roll, and add about ½ cup of the arugula greens to the bottom half of the roll; add the warm salmon fillet on top of the greens, plus a few of the slices of the red onion, and cover with the top of the roll; serve with a bit of extra Lemon Aioli on the side, along with a wedge of lemon.

Lemon Aioli:

In a small bowl, add all of the ingredients, and whisk well until completely combined; refrigerate until ready to use for sandwiches.
