Sandwiches with Salmon and Peppers, a tasty and quick-to-make finger food, ideal for a buffet or a quick lunch out. They are just a variant of tuna and tomato sandwiches, equally easy and delicious, ideal to enjoy at this time of year.
A very simple and quick recipe, with few and simple steps. The only cooking required for this recipe is for the peppers, which are roasted in an air fryer to make them more digestible. I love roasted peppers and often use them in salads.
They are easy to make, and the skin comes off in a few minutes. The only trick is to cook them well so they can be peeled without problems. Forget about having to put them in paper or plastic bags. Just let them cool in the fryer once they are perfectly roasted on both sides.
It will be easy to understand the degree of cooking because the skin will wrinkle and become slightly colored. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can roast the peppers in a traditional oven, extending the cooking times.
Paired with smoked salmon, these sandwiches will be a mix of flavors. A somewhat unusual combination, as we are used to using salmon with avocado in recipes. Believe me, after being the most loved recipe by the whole family these days, it will become yours too! Curious to find out how to prepare them? Then let’s go to the kitchen together, because the sandwiches with salmon and peppers will be ready in a click!

Ingredients
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 1 red pepper
- 3.5 oz smoked salmon
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- arugula (to taste)
Tools
- Air Fryer
- Chopping Board
- Knife
Steps
First, clean the pepper. Wash it well under water and dry it with kitchen paper. Then place it as it is in the fryer basket and cook it at 375°F for 15 minutes. Turn the pepper over and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can roast the pepper in the oven at 355°F for 30/40 minutes. After cooking time, let it cool inside the fryer.
Once cooled, take the pepper and remove the skin. Also remove the stem, seeds, and internal filaments. Then cut it into four parts. Spread a teaspoon of mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Then place some arugula leaves and 1.75 oz of salmon for the first sandwich. Then add half of the cut pepper and close with another slice of bread.
Cover with cling film and let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. The resting time will help you cut the sandwich more easily. Then proceed the same way with the other two slices of bread.
After the resting time, take the sandwiches and cut them in the two diagonals. This way, you will have 8 smaller ones. The sandwiches with peppers and smoked salmon are ready, enjoy your meal!
