Honey Mustard Blackened BLT Salmon Slider
The salmon is crusted in a perfectly seasoned blackened spice blend then pan-seared until it is crisp on the outside and super tender and flaky on the inside. You'll love the tangy golden honey mustard and mayo, smokey crisp bacon - all sandwiched between two toasted slider buns then brushed with garlic butter.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 lbs salmon thick cut
- 1 pack slider buns 6-9 sandwiches
- mayo about 1 tbsp per slider
- Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet Golden Mustard you can find at Wal-Mart, regular honey mustard works instead
- 6 Bacon slices
- Colby Jack cheese sliced for sandwiches
- Shredded Lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/2 red onions, sliced
- Olive oil
My Blackened Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika or regular
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Garlic Parsley Butter Topping
- 1/4 stick butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced
- 1-2 cloves minced garlic
Instructions
- Make Seasoning Blend, Prep Butter Toppings, Cut Veggies
- Combine all blackened seasoning ingredients in bowl, mix well. Slice up the red onions, tomatoes, and shred the lettuce. Add the chopped parsley and minced garlic into a small bowl with butter (don't melt it yet).
- Cook Bacon & Sear Salmon
- Cook bacon until crisp using your desired method. Cut salmon into 3" even sized pieces. Drizzle with olive oil then season liberally on all sides with blackened seasoning.
- Add a few tbsp olive oil to a skillet over medium heat and sear the salmon. Cook until salmon is crisp on all sides but not overcooked, about 1-2 minutes per side. It may take a few rounds as you don't want to crowd the pan. Tent it on a plate and set it aside.
- Toast Buns & Assemble Sliders
- Toast the undersides of the slider buns under the broiler for about 2 minutes, monitoring them to ensure they don't overcook. Remove the bottom buns and set aside, then flip the top buns, spread the melted garlic butter over the tops of the bun and broil for another minute or two, turn off oven.
- Build the sliders by adding mayo to each side (top and bottom) of the sliders. Then add the warm salmon, top it with a dallop of honey mustard, then a piece of colby jack cheese. Warm it in the (turned off) oven for 2 minutes just so the cheese softens and partially melts. Then add crispy bacon, tomato, red onion, lettuce, and another drizzle of sauce. Place the top sides of the buns on top, slice and enjoy.
- Toast the underside of the sliders, then flip the top bun. Brush with garlic-parsley butter then toast the top side for 1-2 minutes. Add mayo to the inside of the buns, then top with salmon, honey mustard, cheese and warm in the oven for 1 minute. Add the bacon, tomato, red onion, lettuce, more honey mustard then place top buns. Slice and serve!
