1/4 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
1 pinch salt
Instructions
1. Toast the sourdough bread until crisp and golden around the edges.
2. Mash the avocado in a small bowl with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until creamy but still slightly chunky.
3. Spread cream cheese or Greek yogurt over each slice of toast if using.
4. Spoon the mashed avocado over the toast and spread it evenly.
5. Arrange the smoked salmon over the avocado in soft folds.
6. Top with red onion, capers, dill or chives, cucumber or radish, and everything bagel seasoning.
7. Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired and serve right away.
Notes
Use sturdy bread like sourdough, rye, or whole grain so the toast stays crisp under the toppings.
Mash the avocado right before serving for the freshest color and flavor.
Go easy on the salt because smoked salmon and capers are already naturally salty.
