Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Take a large piece of parchment paper and fold it in half.

Place the salmon alongside the fold in the center of the parchment.

Lightly season the salmon with salt and black pepper.

Place three or four thin slices of lemon on top of the salmon.

Drizzle the salmon with olive oil.

Fold the parchment paper along the edges to create a tight seal.

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes.

Open the parchment and allow the salmon to cool completely.

Remove the lemon slices and break the salmon into large pieces.

Transfer the salmon into a bowl and lightly dress it with mayonnaise and mustard.

Add finely diced cornichons for crunch, or substitute with celery, onions, or capers.

Choose your preferred bread, in this case, a sourdough bowl.

Layer on the salmon, avocado, tomato, and a pile of arugula.

Season with fresh cracked pepper and salt.
