Smoked Salmon and Avocado Tartines bring together the creamy richness of avocado with the savory depth of smoked salmon, all on a crispy slice of bread. It's an elegant yet straightforward dish, perfect for brunch or a light lunch.
You’ll start with some slices of crusty bread. It serves as the crunchy base that holds everything together. Choose a bread with a firm texture that can withstand toppings. Smoked salmon is the star of the show, offering a rich, salty flavor that pairs beautifully with the creamy avocados. Choose ripe avocados that are soft to the touch. A squeeze of lemon brightens up the flavors, while fresh dill adds a herby freshness. A drizzle of olive oil enhances the flavors, and a touch of salt and pepper ties it all together.
These tartines pair beautifully with a fresh green salad or a bowl of seasonal soup. For a brunch setting, consider serving alongside a platter of fresh fruit and a light, sparkling beverage like prosecco or a non-alcoholic spritzer.
First, get your toaster or grill ready and toast the slices of crusty bread to a golden brown. While that's happening, grab a small bowl and mash the avocados with a fork. Go ahead and add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. You want it smooth but still with some texture.
Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado directly onto each slice. Make sure you get it right to the edges for maximum flavor in every bite. Next, layer the smoked salmon evenly over the avocado. Don't skimp; you want a nice, even coverage.
If you're feeling a bit luxe, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top. It’s not necessary, but it adds a lovely richness. Finally, sprinkle the tartines with fresh dill for that pop of color and flavor.
Serve them up immediately, with lemon wedges on the side. Encourage your eaters to give a little squeeze of lemon over the tartine just before digging in.
