Loved this! I did a few things different: First, I marinated the fish in limeaide, garlic, oregano and parsley for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, I sliced the avocado (I used 2) and squeezed the lime over it to keep it from getting brown. This also flavored it so I didn't need to use the lime at the end. For the bread, I decided that french bread is too difficult to eat and too bready. I got thick sliced white bread (Texas toast style) that's advertised as being for BBQ and toasted it. I buttered one slice with garlic butter. The other slice I topped with the avocado and then the salmon. I skipped the tomato and the onion (too lazy to slice the onion and not enough tomatoes to go around). I served with torillia chips and salsa (perfect combination) and we all found that the salsa was yummy on the sandwiches too (and gave us the option of adding some spice to it, although I like to use mild). I think I'll add it to them next time between the salmon and the avocado. There WILL be a next time! We all had a sandwich and a half, even the picky 7 year old.

Recently, cooking has become my favorite hobby! It is hands-on, involves reading, and new ideas and people. Also, my honey is sure happy about it (but not the weight he has gained)!
