Letās be honest, sometimes we just crave something simple, elegant, and utterly delicious. And this smoked salmon and avocado toast fits that bill perfectly! Itās a quick, easy, and supremely satisfying breakfast, brunch, or even a light lunch that's bursting with flavor. Plus, its impressive looks elevate this dish from ordinary toast to something special. My own inspiration for this recipe came from a lazy Sunday morning. I was craving something tasty but didn't want to spend an eternity in the kitchen, and it came out so good that I had to share it with you!
This recipe is all about quality ingredients. The better the salmon and avocado, the better your toast will taste. I generally opt for wild-caught smoked salmon ā the flavor is simply divine! For avocados, choose ones that are ripe but firm. And don't underestimate the power of good bread! I usually use whole-wheat sourdough, but a nice rye or even an everything bagel would add great texture and some flavor.

š Instructions
- First, toast your bread to your liking. I prefer mine a little darker, but hey, it's your tastebuds, right?
- While the bread is toasting, prepare your avocado. Cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. If you want it smoother, give it a good mash with a fork. If you're more of a chunky texture person, just roughly chop it. Thereās no wrong way here.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to your mashed avocado. This will help prevent it from browning too quickly and add a little zing to the flavor. Also, a pinch of salt and pepper can enhance the overall taste!
- Next, spread the avocado evenly onto your toast. Don't be shy; a generous layer is key!
- Now for the star of the show ā the smoked salmon. Gently arrange the smoked salmon slices on top of the avocado. You can overlap the slices a bit for a fuller coverage.
- Finally, I like to add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning on top. But black pepper or even some flaky sea salt works just as well! It's all about what your taste buds are craving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! I'm serious, itās best enjoyed fresh and itās so easy to prepare.
- Mmmā¦ I could go for another piece... I hope you're not too jealous!
š Notes
- Adjust seasoning to your taste!
- Use the freshest possible ingredients for best results.
