Ingredients

Scale

Choosing fresh, high-quality ingredients makes all the difference in this recipe. I always pick ripe avocados that give just a little when pressed gently, and when possible, I opt for wild-caught smoked salmon for its depth of flavor. Creme fraiche is my secret weapon here—it’s richer and less tangy than sour cream, giving the toast a smooth, creamy finish. Dill should be fresh and fragrant, as it really brightens the dish.

  • 4 slices of hearty whole-grain or sourdough bread
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 6 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup creme fraiche
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon capers for garnish

If you can’t find creme fraiche, Greek yogurt is a good substitute, though it’s a bit tangier. For a dairy-free version, try a cashew cream or omit it altogether and drizzle a little olive oil instead.

Instructions

  1. Start by toasting your bread slices to a golden crisp. I like to use a toaster oven or a skillet for even browning and a little crunch.
  2. While the bread is toasting, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then mash with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
  3. Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado onto each toasted slice.
  4. Top the avocado with thin slices of smoked salmon, arranging it gently for a pretty presentation.
  5. Dollop about a tablespoon of creme fraiche over the salmon on each toast.
  6. Sprinkle fresh dill evenly on top, and add a few capers if you’re using them for a little briny pop.
  7. Finish with a light drizzle of lemon juice and a final crack of black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
