Ingredients
  

4 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread

4 oz smoked salmon

1 ripe avocado

1 tablespoon cream cheese (optional)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh dill (or chives)

Salt and pepper to taste

Red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

Microgreens or arugula for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. This can be done in a toaster or under the broiler for a few minutes.

    Prepare the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your desired level of smoothness.

      Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each slice if desired. Then, evenly distribute the mashed avocado over each piece of toast.

        Add the Salmon: Place a few slices of smoked salmon on top of the avocado toast. You can tear or fold the salmon for a more rustic look.

          Garnish: Sprinkle fresh dill (or chives) over the salmon, and add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat. Top with microgreens or arugula for a fresh touch.

            Serve: Serve the smoked salmon toast immediately, either as a light lunch, brunch item, or an elegant appetizer.
