Simple Smoked Salmon Sandwich

As I stated in a previous post, we always turn to these pressed sandwiches for dinner because they're easy to make and I always have the ingredients for them. I have two main variations of these pressed sandwiches, the first being the previous mushroom and onion sandwich I posted, and the second one being the smoked salmon one:

COMMENTS/TIPS

     I always have to have smoked salmon in my fridge because I have the occasional fish craving and it also satisfies my occasional salt craving (which I get often). So smoked salmon in my sandwiches are a big plus. When I have smoked gouda in my fridge, my sandwich usually consists of: smoked gouda, tomatoes, smoked salmon, avocado, and lettuce. Simple but the ingredients go so well together. I'm a huge fan of pressed sandwiches, well actually sandwiches in general. They're easy to make and almost always turn out delicious.
     I love these sandwiches; they have a good texture, the onions and lettuce give it a nice crunch, and the smoked salmon has great flavor. It's paired well with a nice slice of gouda, but we had to substitute mozzarella, and it tasted great anyways. A great item to have a few times a week.
