Grilled Alaska Salmon Sliders With Green Goddess Aioli Recipes

Come summertime, we head outdoors and grill as much as possible. But there are only so many burgers and hot dogs you can eat before things get a little boring. Enter your new slider superstar: grilled wild Alaska salmon sliders on mini pretzel buns with avocado, microgreens, and Green Goddess aioli. Oh, yes, it's as good as it sounds, and also happens to be quick and easy to prepare.Here, we grill high-quality, wild Alaska salmon simply with salt and pepper. For any pickier eaters in your life, you could put that grilled salmon on a bun by itself and call it a night. But we couldn't leave it be, so we also add fresh avocado, a tangle of microgreens, and an herbaceous, summery Green Goddess-inspired aioli that ties everything together.Of course, for a truly excellent sandwich you need truly excellent salmon, which is why we always turn to wild Alaska salmon. There's a reason that over 90% of the salmon caught in the U.S. comes from Alaska. Its cold, pristine waters are the perfect habitat for salmon, resulting in the highest quality fish you can find. From its vibrant color to its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and protein, Alaska salmon is simply the best.With a firm, meaty texture, salmon is also a dream to grill, as long as you make sure your grill is hot and your grates are greased before starting. If you have trouble flipping the salmon, wait another minute until it releases easily. You can certainly remove the crispy salmon skin for the sandwich (it's much easier to remove after it's been cooked than before) but some might say that's the best part.
