Ingredients

1 tin canned salmon (170 g, 6oz, ¾ cup)
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp green onion, finely sliced or finely diced red onion
2 tablespoon dill pickles, finely diced
1 tablespoon celery, finely diced
salt and pepper to taste
2 slices whole wheat bread
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 4 oz

Instructions

Preheat your oven to broil. Combine the canned salmon, mayonnaise, onion, pickles and celery in a bowl and mix together well. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir again.
Toast the bread until lightly browned in your toaster or under the broiler.
Place the toasted bread on a foil or parchment lined baking sheet and top each slice with half the salmon mixture. Sprinkle a half cup of cheddar cheese over each and place under the broiler until bubbly and just starting to brown on top, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from the oven and wait 2 minutes before enjoying so you don't burn your mouth with the hot cheese.

Notes

Broilers work fast and the time it will take to cook your melt will vary based on your oven and how high or low the oven rack is. Closer to the broiler equals faster cooking.
