Forget everything you thought you knew about sandwiches—this isn’t your average grilled cheese. Dabrionne takes leftover or freshly cooked salmon and transforms it into a creamy, cheesy, flavor-packed filling that’ll completely reset your lunch expectations.

It all starts with chopped salmon, sautéed in butter with garlic and spinach. Then comes the magic: a creamy blend of parmesan and cream cheese that melts together beautifully. Sandwich it all between buttery croissant bread with provolone, and you’ve got something unforgettable.

And the real twist? Ranch seasoning in the grilling butter. It adds a hit of tangy, herby depth that seals the deal. Once that seasoned butter hits the pan and the bread starts to crisp, you’ll understand the hype.

Here’s how to bring it to your own kitchen:
