This dish is surprisingly simple, requiring only a handful of fresh, nutritious ingredients and a few minutes of preparation.


Ingredients

    • Whole grain or rye bread: 2 slices

    • Avocado: 1 ripe, medium-sized

    • Smoked salmon: 3-4 ounces

    • Lemon juice: 1-2 teaspoons

    • Salt: A pinch

    • Black pepper: A pinch

    • Radishes: 1-2, thinly sliced (optional for garnish)

    • Red onion: A few slices (optional for garnish)

    • Capers: 1 tablespoon (optional)

    • Fresh dill or chives: 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional for garnish)


Instructions

  • Prepare the Bread:

    • Take 8 slices of whole grain or rye bread.
    • Toast the slices in a toaster or under a broiler until they reach your desired level of crispness.
  • Prepare the Avocado Mixture:

    • Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
    • Mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth but slightly chunky.
    • Add 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the mashed avocado to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
    • Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
    • Mix everything well to combine.
  • Assemble the Toasts:

    • Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture on each slice.
  • Add Smoked Salmon:

    • Layer approximately 1.5-2 ounces of smoked salmon over the avocado on each slice of toast. You can adjust the amount of salmon based on your preference.
  • Optional Garnishes:

    • Radishes: Thinly slice 4-8 radishes and layer them over the salmon.
    • Red Onion: Thinly slice half a red onion and add a few rings on top.
    • Capers: Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of capers over each toast if you like their tangy flavor.
    • Fresh Dill or Chives: Chop 4 tablespoons of fresh dill or chives and sprinkle over the toasts for added freshness and flavor.
  • Final Touches:

    • Add an additional sprinkle of salt and pepper if desired.
    • Optionally, you can add a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or an extra squeeze of lemon juice for a finishing touch.
  • Serve:

    • Arrange the avocado toasts on a serving platter.
    • Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
