Smoked Sturgeon Melt

Makes about 2 sandwiches, depending on bread size and fullness of sandwich

INGREDIENTS
6oz package of Tsar Nicoulai Estate Smoked Sturgeon
1/4 of a red onion, finely chopped
1/4 of a green apple, finely chopped
1/4 celery stalk, finely chopped
Chopped dill, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup mayonnaise, plus extra for grilling sandwich
2-4 slices of Havarti cheese
4 slices of crusty bread, or bread of choice
Oil for the pan (optional)

METHOD
1. Flake smoked sturgeon with a fork and/or your fingers and add to a bowl.
2. Add red onion, green apple, celery, dill and mayonnaise to the flaked sturgeon (you may want to add a portion of each and see how you like the flavors before adding all of it in). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix well. Adjust flavors to your preference.
3. Spread mayonnaise on the outside of your bread slices. Heat a pan, adding a tiny bit of oil if you like. Place 2 slices of bread mayo-side down on the pan and let them sizzle a little. Spread smoked sturgeon salad mixture on top of each piece, followed by Havarti slice(s). Top each with another bread slice, mayo-side up. Once the bottom bread slices are perfectly golden and crunchy, flip the sandwiches. Cook until bread is crisp and cheese is melted. Enjoy!
