Salmon to Use For Salmon Sliders
For your salmon sliders, you want to use high-quality, skinless, and boneless salmon filets. For this recipe, I used fresh salmon from a local grocery store. I recommend you use cuts from a place you trust as being high-quality.
Best Bread to Use for Salmon Sliders
The best bread to use for salmon sliders? Focaccia, of course! Focaccia is a soft and slightly chewy Italian flatbread that is often infused with olive oil and herbs, giving it a rich and aromatic taste. Focaccia is extremely flavorful making it a unique addition to perfectly grilled salmon. I used store-bought focaccia but feel free to use homemade ones if you have some handy (lucky you).
What Toppings to Use for Salmon Sliders
You can get as wild as you would like with your salmon slider toppings. I used sliced red onions, avocado slices, mayo, red pepper hummus, homemade mango and corn salsa, and lettuce. Tomatoes, cucumbers, your favorite vegetables, or even a Greek yogurt-based dressing would be mighty tasty! Feel free to add your personal touch and variations to the recipe
