Instructions

MAKE THE MAYO:

In a bowl, measure and add mayonnaise, lime juice, smoked paprika, chipotle powder and chili powder with a small pinch of salt. Whisk to combine and refrigerate until ready to use.

MAKE THE SANDWICH:

Working in batches, place slices of center cut bacon into a cool, large skillet. Heat on medium to medium-low, turning occasionally until fully cooked and desired crispiness. Transfer the crisp bacon to a paper towel lined plate and set a side. Repeat with the remaining bacon.
Pat the skinless salmon filets with paper towel. Place them in a clean dish or pan and spray with avocado oil. Season with Mexicali seasoning.
Preheat your air fryer or oven to 400° and cook (in the air fryer) for 6 to 7 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. It may take a few minutes longer if cooked in the oven.
Meanwhile toast the bread and slather the inside of one slice with some of the chipotle mayo.
Top the mayo with a cooked salmon filet, bacon, a slice of tomato and lettuce.
Top with your second slice of toasted bread and enjoy!
