basil miso cream salmon avocado sandwich
As being Japanese, I love to add something Japanese flavor. This sandwich might sound strange but miso and cheese are great match and miso and basil are also great match. I have made grilled salmon with this mixture and my husband loved it. So I thought I could make my husband's favorite, Salmon sandwich and I was right. Since avocado and tomato are cooked, not raw, those bring out their own natural flavor more and enhance the flavor of this sandwich as well. As a final touch, I added nori for a more ocean flavor and some different texture which is fun to eat!
