Cajun Salmon Sandwich Recipe

I get these recipe of the day emails for health conscious people from the gym. And when I read this one I was drooling!

I'm going to have to make this for Friday night's dinner!

Cajun Salmon Sandwich Recipe

4 (4 ounce) salmon filets
4 (6-inch) rolls, split and lightly toasted
1 cup shredded cabbage
8 tomato slices
3 tablespoons lowfat mayonnaise
2-3 tablepoons powdered Cajun spice, divided
Nonstick cooking spray
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges

Heat a heavy skillet over high heat for 10-15 minutes. Mix mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon Cajun spice (more or less to reach desired hotness). Lightly spray both sides of salmon filets with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with remaining Cajun spice.

Place salmon in the hot skillet to blacken; cook 2-3 minutes per side or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Spread mayonnaise mixture onto each roll, top with blackened salmon, tomato and 1/4 cup shredded cabbage. Squeeze with lemon juice and serve.
