Preheat oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil liner.

Meanwhile slice ciabatta rolls in half and rub the cut sides lightly with crushed garlic clove. Place on a baking sheet and toast rolls in still-warm oven, broiling if necessary.

Layer toasted ciabatta with mayo, remaining pesto, salmon, cheese, red onion, tomato and lettuce. Skewer to hold.
