BLT Sandwich with Salmon and Avocado

At this time a few years ago I was working at Glacier Bay Alaska and the memories of that experience reminded me of a sandwich I made then using the local king salmon. It was a variation of the classic bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich with the decadent addition of the salmon and creamy sliced avocado. Today I recreated that same sandwich but using another salmon then the absolutely fresh king salmon that was in abundance there. Lots of color, textures and very good flavors.
