Obsessively Good Sandwich!

Some people might call me obsessive over the Pan Bagnat sandwiches I have been making, but I think when you find a good thing, there is no such thing as too much!

We had a delicious Sockeye salmon recently, which my terrific husband expertly prepared on our Big Green Egg.  He says everything turns our perfect because of the grill, but I give him credit too.

Simply seasoned but incredibly delicious Sockeye Salmon prepared on a Big Green Egg.
We have loved "cooking out" even more this summer with our grill, but the other part I love is that the leftovers are terrific--and I don't like leftovers.  Well, I didn't always like leftovers, but I have learned to intentionally cook more than we need because of the "planned-overs" that will be just as delicious the second time around. 


Leftover Salmon from the fridge.
Notice the leftover salmon isn't as moist looking, and we have found that it isn't as good re-warmed, but if you can eat it cold it is still delicious.  Here's where the obsessive part might come in. 

Cold salmon mixed with both green and black olives, capers, and shallots.


With the beautiful fall weather we are experiencing, I suggested a picnic lunch to my husband.  We could take a lunch break outside in the middle of the day and sort of pretend we were in the French countryside again.  I substituted the delicious leftover salmon for the canned tuna that I usually use, and VOILA--a French picnic was made. 

Two sandwiches coming up!

I also am enjoying the heirloom tomatoes with every meal, so I added them and off we went.  For people who don't really like leftovers, this was a surprisingly wonderful meal!
