Smoked Salmon Focaccia Sandwich
with herbed goat cheese / salt and vinegar chips
We love keeping smoked salmon on hand for quick meals. It requires no cooking (and almost no prep), keeps for a long time in the freezer, and always feels like a special treat. In this case, it also proves that a sandwich never needs to be boring!
Smarts: If salmon isn't your thing, try these with turkey, roast beef, or prosciutto.

Make
-
If herbed goat cheese was made ahead of time, soften it briefly in the microwave until just spreadable (~15 to 20 seconds).
-
In a serving or mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil and lemon juice. Add arugula and toss to combine. Season with a bit of coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, if you like.
-
If you’d like the focaccia warm, toast or warm it briefly in the microwave, toaster, or oven.
-
Spread goat cheese on the bottom halves of focaccia. Spread cucumber slices on top of goat cheese, then top with salmon, roasted peppers, pepperoncini (if using), and some dressed arugula. Place top halves of focaccia on top.
-
Serve sandwiches with potato chips. Enjoy with remaining arugula on the side.
