Ingredient Notes

Smoked Salmon – This provides a lovely smoky flavor which balances perfectly with the creaminess of the avocado. Avocado – Choose ripe but firm avocados for the best result. Bread – I prefer sourdough but feel free to use your favorite. Lemon – A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens up the recipe and ties together all the flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by toasting your bread slices to your liking. Then, mash the ripe avocado and spread it generously on each toast. Layer the smoked salmon on top of the avocado spread. Finally, finish off with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and seasoning as per your taste.

Things I’ve Learned

Toasting the bread before topping allows the toast to hold up better under the weight of the toppings. Opt for thinly sliced smoked salmon for easy eating and better flavor distribution.
