TIPS FOR MINI SMOKED SALMON & AVOCADO TOAST
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use ripe avocado and high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavour.
- Toast For Crunch: Lightly toasting the bread ensures a firm base that won’t become soggy.
- Balance The Flavours: The lemon juice enhances the taste of both the avocado and the salmon.
- Extra Toppings: Add capers, fresh dill, or thinly sliced red onion for more depth of flavour.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Toast the bread and prepare the avocado mixture in advance for quick assembly.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side salad or fresh fruit for a well-rounded meal.
VARIATIONS
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free bread for those with dietary restrictions.
- Dairy Boost: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese before adding the avocado for a richer taste.
- Spicy Twist: Sprinkle with chilli flakes or add a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
- Protein-Packed: Add a poached or soft-boiled egg on top for extra protein.
- Vegetarian Alternative: Replace smoked salmon with thinly sliced roasted red pepper or grilled mushrooms.
- Extra Crunch: Sprinkle with sesame seeds or crushed walnuts for added texture.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store the mashed avocado in an airtight container with a drizzle of lemon juice to prevent browning. Assemble the toast fresh for the best texture.
- Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as avocado changes texture, and the bread will become soggy upon thawing.
- Make-Ahead: Toast the bread and store it separately, then prepare the avocado mixture just before serving to keep it fresh.
