How To Make Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast

Step 1

Prep Produce

 

 

Choose A Ripe Avocado

 

  • To identify a perfectly ripe avocado, seek one that has a slightly soft texture and a color ranging from dark green to black. Be cautious of any avocado displaying a brown spot, as this is a clear indication that the avocado has gone bad.

 

  • When an avocado is past ripe, it can be easily identified by its texture. A ripe avocado should have a slight give when gently squeezed, whereas an overripe one will feel extremely soft and mushy. Overripe avocados may turn brown or black on the flesh or skin, indicating spoilage.

 

  • To store avocado properly and avoid overripening, keep it at room temperature until ripe, then move it to the refrigerator.

 

 

Cut and Scoop the Avocado

 

  • Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, twist to separate. Remove the pit with a spoon.

 

  • Scoop the avocado flesh from the skin, being careful to remove any parts that have started to turn brown.

 

 

 

Mash the Avocado

 

  • Mash the avocado on a cutting board using a fork until it reaches your preferred texture. For a chunkier feel, mash lightly; for a creamier texture, continue mashing until it’s smooth.

 

 

 

 

Prepare Additional Ingredients

 

  • After mashing, slice onions and tomatoes. Keep them aside as you proceed with toasting your bread.

Step 2

Toast Bread

 

 

Selecting Bread

 

  • Choose high-quality bread like Heidelberg Bread. Options like French Peasant or Seeded Jewish Rye are excellent.

 

 

 

Toasting Method

 

  • Use a toaster oven for an even toast. It uses radiant heat for even cooking.

 

  • Adjust the temperature and timing in the toaster oven for precise toasting, especially for thicker slices.

 

Step 3

Assemble!

 

 

Avocado Spread

 

  • Spread the mashed avocado over the toast. Sprinkle with sea salt, bagel seasoning or sesame seeds as an alternative, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. Adding a little lemon juice will also help prevent the avocado from browning.

 

 

 

Toppings

  • Top with red onion, tomato, and smoked salmon. Smoked salmon, different from lox in flavor and texture, adds a unique taste. If you’re feeling crazy, you can even add some thin sliced cucumber.

 

 

  • If available, use smoked salmon seasoned with lemon pepper for an extra zing.

 

Step 4

Enjoy Your Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast!

 

Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast

  • This avocado toast recipe is a novel take on traditional bagel with lox, using mashed avocado instead of cream cheese.

 

  • The combination of the creamy avocado with the smoky flavor of salmon, accented by lemon wedges, creates a delightful taste experience.

 

  • Remember to enjoy your meal with a garnish of lemon wedges for that fresh, citrusy kick.

Smoked salmon is a tasty and easy way to add protein to avocado toast. It’s full of high-quality protein, offering all the essential amino acids needed for body repair and growth. Just 3.5 ounces of smoked salmon gives you about 22 grams of protein, as much as a 3-ounce chicken breast.

 

Smoked salmon is also packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for your brain, heart, and reducing body inflammation. These fats help lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and some cancers. They’re also good for keeping your skin, hair, and nails healthy.

 

When you put smoked salmon on avocado toast, you get a mix of creamy and smoky flavors. The smooth avocado and the rich taste of salmon make a delicious and irresistible combination.
