Instructions

In a glass pie plate, place the salmon fillets. Sprinkle with black pepper. Cover the dish with plastic wrap leaving a small part open at the edge to vent the steam. Microwave on high power for about 3 minutes. The fish is done when it just begins to separate into flakes (chunks) after being pressed gently with a fork. Cut each fillet in half.
While the fish is cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olives and olive juice.
To assemble sliders, place a piece of salmon on the half of each bun. Top with a roasted pepper and then a piece of lettuce leaf. Spread the olive yogurt sauce over each top bun and place on the lettuce. Serve immediately.
