In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and fresh dill. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Assemble the Sandwich
Toast the slices of whole grain bread, if desired. Spread a generous layer of dill mayo on two slices of bread. Top with the mixed greens, followed by the sliced avocado and cooked salmon.
