Instructions
1
Preheat your outdoor grill and prepare a grilling surface by brushing it with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
2
Generously rub the salmon fillets with olive oil, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
3
Place the salmon fillets on the grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, ensuring it's almost cooked through.
4
Once done, remove the salmon from the grill, place it on a plate, and let it rest for about 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
5
While the salmon is resting, prepare the sauce by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, white wine vinegar, fresh basil, chopped dill, scallions, kosher salt, and pepper in a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
6
Blend the mixture until smooth and well-combined. Add the drained capers to the mixture and pulse a few more times to incorporate.
7
To assemble the sandwiches, slice your fresh rolls or brioche in half crosswise. Optionally, toast the cut sides of the rolls on the grill for added flavor and crunch.
8
Spread a generous tablespoon of the herb sauce on each cut side of the rolls. On the bottom half, layer a handful of mesclun salad or fresh basil leaves, followed by a piece of the grilled salmon.
9
Top with the other half of the roll, serve immediately, and enjoy the perfectly balanced flavors of this gourmet sandwich!
