Ingredients
- 2 slices thick sourdough or whole grain bread
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 6 ounces smoked salmon (wild-caught preferred)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon capers (optional)
- Fresh dill or chives for garnish
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Toast bread slices for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy on edges but still slightly soft in center.
- While bread toasts, cut avocado in half, remove pit, and scoop flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Mash avocado with a fork until desired consistency—smooth or slightly chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Spread half of mashed avocado mixture generously onto each toasted bread slice, covering entire surface.
- Layer 3 ounces of smoked salmon on top of avocado on each toast. Fold or drape salmon for elegant presentation.
- Top with thinly sliced red onion, capers, and fresh dill or chives. Add final pinch of black pepper and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use wild-caught salmon for best omega-3 content
- Choose thick, sturdy bread to prevent sogginess
- Lemon juice prevents avocado from browning
- Add poached egg for extra 6g protein
- Best served immediately while toast is warm
- Store mashed avocado with plastic wrap on surface
