Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 4

Ingredients

1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
4 4-ounce salmon fillets, skin removed
4 slices crusty bread
1 bunch arugula, stems trimmed
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced crosswise

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the cumin seed, fennel seed, oregano, and thyme in a spice grinder. Pulse until finely chopped but not powdery. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in the paprika, cayenne pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; set aside.

    Step 2

    In another small bowl, whisk together the horseradish, yogurt, honey, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside.

    Step 3

    Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Coat each fillet with 2 teaspoons spice blend; pat with your fingers. Place the fillets in the hot skillet. Cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Flip the fillets; cook through, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate; set aside.

    Step 4

    To assemble, spread the bread with the horseradish mixture. Top with arugula and onion. Flake the salmon into chunks; place on the sandwiches. Drizzle with the remaining horseradish mixture; serve immediately.
