Description

Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon is a quick and nutritious breakfast or brunch dish featuring creamy mashed avocado, silky smoked salmon, and crisp toasted artisan bread. Enhanced with fresh lemon juice, dill, and chives, this elegant recipe offers a flavorful and healthy start to your day that can be prepared in just minutes.

Ingredients

Bread

  • 4 slices artisan sourdough or whole-grain bread

Avocado Mixture

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 8 ounces smoked salmon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread. Toast the artisan sourdough or whole-grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp to provide a sturdy base with a delightful crunch for the toppings.
  2. Prepare the avocado mixture. In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados thoroughly, then mix in fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to create a creamy, flavorful spread.
  3. Spread avocado on toast. Evenly distribute the mashed avocado mixture over each slice of toasted bread, ensuring full coverage for a balanced bite every time.
  4. Add smoked salmon. Layer the silky smoked salmon slices on top of the avocado-spread toast, adding a rich, savory flavor.
  5. Garnish the toast. Sprinkle chopped fresh dill, chives, and, if desired, red pepper flakes over the salmon to introduce fresh, herbal, and spicy notes.
  6. Serve immediately. Offer lemon wedges on the side for an optional bright citrus squeeze and enjoy your fresh avocado toast right away for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Add sliced cucumber, radishes, or capers for additional fresh flavors and textural contrast.
  • Use ripe avocados to achieve a creamy and smooth consistency in the avocado spread.
  • Best enjoyed immediately after assembling to maintain the toast’s crispiness and the freshness of the ingredients.
