Salmon BLT's with Lemon-Dill Mayonnaise

I love BLT's and I love salmon, so why not pair the two? Add a creamy lemon-dill mayonnaise and you have a toothsome take on everybody's favorite sandwich. I keep the skin on the salmon filets when grilling to prevent them from falling apart. Then I remove it before putting together the sammy's . I grill the bread with the salmon for a total out-doors taste.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2/3 CUP HELLMANNS MAYONNAISE
• 4 TEASPOONS CHOPPED FRESH DILL
• 2 TEASPOONS LEMON ZEST
• 8 SALMON FILETS WITH SKIN ON, 1-INCH THICK { ABOUT 6 OUNCES EACH }
• 1/2 TEASPOON SALT
• 1/4 TEASPOON GROUND BLACK PEPPER
• 16 CENTER SLICES { 1/2-INCH THICK } COUNTRY-STYLE BREAD
