Today we’ll skip the classic tuna sandwich and swap in some quick and easy canned salmon to change things up! And guess what… it’s beyond delicious!
This healthy canned salmon sandwich is loaded with fresh, savory flavors that I have been perfecting for years.
Growing up near Seattle, salmon was a big deal. My dad would go fishing and bring home salmon, and we’d feast for days.
Now that I live in Arizona, I’ve swapped fresh salmon for sunshine. I love both, but to keep this recipe simple, I like to use wild caught Alaskan canned salmon.
It’s one of my family’s favorite go-to dinners, and is perfect for those busy weeknights. Plus, if you have leftovers, or want to prep ahead, this also makes a fantastic lunch!
Everyone loves it… and I love how easy this healthy salmon recipe is to prepare. In fact, it’s just as easy as this Tilapia Grilled Fish and creamy rich Grilled Salmon in Foil Recipe!
So if you want to create the ultimate fish sandwich, you owe it to yourself to enjoy this canned salmon sandwich recipe served up on fresh baked slices of Sourdough Sandwich Bread. It really is an outrageously satisfying experience!
Now go ahead and do yourself a favor. Give these quick & easy salmon sandwiches a try this week!

The salmon sandwiches look delicious!! I have never thought of substituting salmon for tuna. Great idea!
I love that it’s both easy to make and healthy!
This sounds wonderful! I can’t wait to give this a try. I love how healthy and easy it is to make. Thanks for sharing Heidi!
It’s hard to beat a recipe that’s both easy and healthy!
So excited for this recipe, Heidi, I love salmon but I had no idea it came in a can! We eat a tuna sandwich or tuna salad a few times a month so I can’t wait to change things up. Tuna can be really boring sometimes so this will be a fresh take! Thanks for the easy lunch and dinner ideas. Big hugs, CoCo
You can find it right next to the canned tuna at the grocery store.
This is something I have never done, and would totally do! Thank you!
It adds a fun twist to the classic tuna sandwich!
Definitely making! Been on a salmon kick lately and this looks so good! Thank you for the idea!
This is definitely one of the easiest ways to prepare salmon!
I do this all the time with tuna, I can’t believe I’ve never thought about trying it with salmon – looks delicious and easy too, thank you, Heidi!
I know you’ll love it… it’s crazy good!
Love all the flavors in this recipe! Thanks for sharing Heidi!
It’s a great recipe, especially for picky eaters!
Sounds incredibly delicious and effortlessly easy to make!
It’s both and I know you’ll love it!
J’aime beaucoup le saumon, alors ce sandwich me plait beaucoup
Bonne soirée
Sono d’accordo, è così delizioso!
What a fantastic and quick way to whip up a delicious salmon sandwich! It’s a great way to change it up from our regular tuna, which can get a little boring, hehe.
I agree. I regularly go back and forth between this Salmon Sandwich and Tuna Salad.
