Banh Mi, a Vietnamese sandwich, has become increasingly popular worldwide. It's a classic example of French and Vietnamese fusion cuisine, which came about during the colonial period in Vietnam. However, the traditional Banh Mi sandwich is made with pork. This recipe is a twist on the classic, using roasted salmon instead of pork. The pickled vegetables give a satisfying crunch and tangy flavor to the sandwich, while the softness of the bread and the creaminess of the mayonnaise balance it all out. Overall, this recipe is sure to impress your taste buds and leave you wanting more!

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the salmon.
3.Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
4.In a separate bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, water, and salt. Add in the daikon radish, carrots, and radishes, making sure they are fully submerged. Allow to pickle for at least 15 minutes.
5.Slice the baguette into four equal portions and lightly toast until warm. Spread mayonnaise onto each half of the baguette. Top the bottom half with the pickled vegetables and roasted salmon. Add slices of English cucumber, jalapeno chile, and cilantro on top of the salmon. Close with the top half of the baguette.
