Ingredients
Base
- 2 slices toast (store-bought or sourdough bread)
Avocado Spread
- 1 large avocado (ripened)
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- Sea salt & pepper (to taste)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup baby arugula
- 4 oz smoked salmon
- 3 cherry tomatoes (sliced)
- 1/4 small red onion (sliced)
- Drizzle of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon everything sprinkle seasoning
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Start by toasting the bread slices until they reach a satisfying crunch and golden color, providing a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Mash the avocado: In a small bowl, use the back of a fork to mash the ripe avocado until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Season the avocado: Add lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well and taste to adjust seasoning as needed.
- Spread avocado on toast: Generously spread the creamy avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices, covering the surface fully.
- Add greens and salmon: Layer a handful of fresh baby arugula over the avocado, followed by pieces of smoky, flavorful smoked salmon.
- Add veggies: Arrange sliced cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced red onions atop the salmon to add freshness, sweetness, and a bit of bite.
- Finish with olive oil and seasoning: Drizzle a little olive oil over the assembled toast and sprinkle everything seasoning evenly on top for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your vibrant, nutritious Salmon Avocado Toast fresh for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for the creamiest texture; if unripe, the avocado will be hard to mash.
- Smoked salmon can be substituted with fresh cooked salmon if preferred, but it will change the flavor profile.
- Everything sprinkle seasoning typically contains sesame seeds, garlic, onion, poppy seeds, and salt; feel free to customize or omit if sensitive to any ingredients.
- Toast the bread to your desired crunchiness, but avoid burning for the best taste.
- To keep the avocado from browning, add lemon juice immediately after mashing.
