Salmon Bahn Mi
Slightly warm baguette in oven without toasting. Cut in half and evenly spread mayo on both sides of baguette. Top with Salmon salad, cucumbers, carrots and Cilantro. Cut baguette into quarters with two quarters making one large sandwich that can easily be shared.
***One can easily adapt this and most sandwich recipes to be "paleo" or low-carb friendly by replacing the bread with a collared wrap seen in the photo. This can be done by removing the thickest part of the 'trunk' of the collared and blanching the leaf in boiling water to soften it. It can then be filled with all of your favorite sandwich fillings and wrapped like a tortilla.
