How To Make It: Step by Step
1. Pick & Mash Your Avocado
Choose a ripe ÉVO® Hass avocado—soft when gently pressed and free of blemishes. Halve, remove the stone, and scoop into a bowl. Mash with a fork for a rustic texture or blend until silky-smooth. Stir through lemon juice, salt and pepper.
2. Toast with Care
Select a hearty bread and toast to golden crisp perfection—this forms the foundation that will hold up to the creamy and savoury toppings.
3. Spread & Layer
Generously spoon the smashed avocado across the hot toast. Lay the salmon pieces on top, either layered neatly or as delicate ribbons.
4. The Finishing Touch
Bring it to life with your chosen extras: chilli flakes for warmth, dill for brightness, capers for savoury tang, or a swirl of olive oil and scatter of microgreens for an elegant finish.
Tips & Variations
- Switch up the bread: wholegrain, gluten-free, or crispbread for a lighter base.
- Add protein: crown it with a softly poached egg for indulgent weekend brunches.
- Boost the veg: sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or crunchy radishes add extra freshness.
Why It Works
- Avocado provides heart-friendly monounsaturated fats and fibre, supporting fullness and steady energy.
- Salmon delivers high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids for brain and body function.
- Together, they’re balanced, satisfying, and refreshingly simple—no laborious prep needed.
