Smoky Glazed Salmon Sliders with Yogurt-Caper Dill Sauce

Smoky Glazed Salmon Sliders with Yogurt-Caper Dill Sauce are the ultimate fix for both small and large appetites. Serve one per person as an appy; two per person as a main course. The cool and creamy yogurt topping is a complementary addition to the sweet and smoky salmon.

Holy chipotle

Tabasco chipotle sauce is available in most grocery stores. Alternatively, mash 1/2 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce until smooth and add 2 tsp to salmon glaze. For tender taste buds, substitute a little honey and Dijon for the Tabasco.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Toast buns, cut-side down, in hot grill pan until as done as desired. Set aside.
4. In small bowl, combine yogurt-caper dill sauce ingredients and stir to blend, adding pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to assemble sliders.

Top each with a piece of bibb lettuce, glazed salmon, red onion, a couple of avocado slices, and bun tops. Serve hot with spiralized cucumber alongside.
