The seven flavor axes of the whole sandwich, each summed across its layers. The shaded ring is the catalog's middle 80%; the small number under each axis is where this sandwich falls in the catalog. A shape that sits inside the ring is in the range most sandwiches live in; a spike past it is where this one stands apart.

## What each layer brings

| Layer                               | Role    | Flavor and texture                      | Points    |

| whole wheat bunscored as Burger Bun | bread   | sweet 2 soft springy                    | the frame |
| salmon pattyscored as Salmon        | protein | fat 3 umami 3 soft flaky tender         | **+22**   |

Points: what the Sandwich Score would lose if that one layer were left out, everything else the same. A negative number means the sandwich scores higher without it. Flavor runs 0 to 5 on each axis.
