White dinner plate with a creole salmon sandwich with a fillet of salmon on a long roll with sliced tomatoes and creole sauce.

Creole Salmon Sandwich

tartar sauce, arugula, bayou potato salad

STARS

If you've spent time in New Orleans, you probably know about the power of the po' boy. This particular take on the classic creole sandwich is stacked with blackened salmon, peppery arugula, and sliced tomato—all on a soft hoagie roll slathered in tangy tartar sauce. Even the potato salad is kicked up with spices prevalent down in the Bayou.
