Ingredients
Toast
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- Fresh dill, for garnish
- Capers (optional), 1 tablespoon
- Red onion, thinly sliced, 2 tablespoons
- Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the whole grain bread slices to your desired level of crispness. This will provide a sturdy base that complements the creamy avocado and smoked salmon.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toasted bread. This creamy layer will add richness and flavor.
- Add Smoked Salmon: Place thin slices of smoked salmon evenly over the avocado spread, ensuring every bite has the smoky fish flavor.
- Add Garnishes: Top the salmon with thinly sliced red onions, capers if using, and fresh dill for an aromatic finish.
- Finish with Olive Oil: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the assembled toast for added moisture and flavor enhancement.
- Serve Immediately: Serve your smoked salmon avocado toast fresh to enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors at their best.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocado to prevent sogginess.
- Whole grain or sourdough bread offers the best balance of flavor and texture.
- Optional toppings like capers and red onion add a nice tang and crunch.
- For a dairy-free option, simply omit any cheese or cream additions.
- Serve immediately to maintain the toast’s crispiness.
