A quick and nourishing breakfast featuring creamy avocado spread on toasted whole-grain bread, topped with smoky fresh smoked salmon and a sprinkle of chia seeds for an omega-3 boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices sturdy whole-grain or sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for toasting)
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 6 ounces fresh smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  • Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Optional extras: thinly sliced red onion, cream cheese or goat cheese spread, cucumber ribbons or cherry tomato halves

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Toast the bread slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Alternatively, toast in a toaster until edges are lightly browned.
  2. While the bread toasts, scoop the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Mash with a fork until creamy but slightly chunky.
  3. Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture evenly across each toast slice, being gentle to avoid breaking the toast.
  4. Layer the smoked salmon slices over the avocado, folding or draping for a nice presentation.
  5. Sprinkle with capers and chia seeds for an omega-3 boost. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs and optional toppings like red onion or cucumber ribbons.
  6. Serve immediately. If needed, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes. Toast just before serving to keep it crisp.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushy spread. Toast bread well for sturdiness. Add lemon juice early to prevent avocado browning. Keep smoked salmon chilled until assembly. Customize with optional toppings or substitutions for gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
