This Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast recipe combines creamy mashed avocado, savory smoked salmon, and optional garnishes like capers and fresh herbs on toasted bread for a quick, nutritious, and delicious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Base

  • 2 slices of bread (whole grain, sourdough, or your choice)

Avocado Spread

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 4 oz smoked salmon
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese (optional)
  • Capers (for garnish, optional)
  • Fresh dill or chives (for garnish, optional)
  • Red onion slices (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crispy to provide a firm base for the toppings.
  2. Prepare the Avocado: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado using a fork. Mix in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Assemble the Toast: If using, spread a thin layer of cream cheese over each slice of toasted bread. Then evenly spread the mashed avocado on top of the cream cheese or directly onto the toast.
  4. Top with Salmon: Arrange the smoked salmon evenly over the avocado layer on each toast slice.
  5. Garnish: Add optional garnishes such as capers, fresh dill or chives, and thin slices of red onion to enhance flavor and presentation.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the toast at its freshest and most flavorful.

Notes

  • You can substitute the bread type based on your preference or dietary restrictions.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, especially since smoked salmon can be salty.
  • Optional cream cheese adds richness; omit for a lighter version.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a drizzle of olive oil or a pinch of chili flakes.
  • This recipe is best served fresh to maintain the texture of the toasted bread and freshness of the avocado.
