Since my eye doctor said I should eat fish twice weekly to slow down my macular degeneration, I am always looking for fish recipes. I came across a good one in the August 2013 Better Homes. Here it is.
Grilled Fish Sandwiches with Avocado Spread
1 avocado, halved, seeded and peeled
1/3 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. Dijon-style mustard
2 tsp. sugar
4 (4 oz.) skinless, boneless salmon fillets
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. sea or kosher salt
1/2 tsp salt-free lemon pepper seasoning
4 onion buns, split
1 small fennel bulb, cored and thinly sliced, about 3/4 cup
1 orange, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
1) For Avocado Spread, in a blender combine avocado, olive oil, lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. water, mustard and sugar. Cover and blend until smooth; set aside.
2) Rinse fish; pat dry. Brush both sides with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt and lemon pepper.
3) For charcoal or gas grill, grill salmon on greased rack of covered grill directly over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily with fork. Grill buns, cut side down, until toasted, about 1 minute.
4) Serve salmon on buns with Avocado Spread and fennel and orange slices.
