If you're limiting your tuna intake (due to mercury concerns), Omega-3-rich canned salmon makes a nice stand-in for canned tuna in these salmon melts. Of course, you can always use tuna in place of the canned salmon. Served on toasted English muffins, these salmon melts are an easy and kid-friendly dinner.
Cooking equipment needed:
- Chef's knife

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- Salt and pepper to taste

Steps to Make It
