Why you'll love this recipe
- It's so good and satisfying. Smoked salmon avocado toast is a fun twist on bagel and lox. It's packed with flavor and texture, crunch from the bread, cucumber and red onion and sweetness from tomatoes. I like to use smoked salmon on cottage cheese toast too.
- Quick and easy! It's a great breakfast, brunch or lunch. It'll keep you full and feeling nourished. Serve them at a brunch party aside of this frittata, protein pancakes and baked oats.
Key Ingredients And Variations
- Toast: I love to use sourdough, but you can use any kind of bread you like.
- Avocado: use a ripe medium to large avocado for two toasts, or two small avocados. For the best taste, make sure it's ripe, meaning if you squeeze it gently, it'll have a little give.
- Smoked salmon: use 3-4 ounces, pre-sliced smoked salmon.
- Everything but the bagel seasoning: it goes so well with smoked salmon. If you don't love, you can easily replace it with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder or spices of choice.
- Tomato, cucumber and red onion: this combination goes so well with smoked salmon avocado toast, it adds a nice crunch and fresh flavors. You could add capers too if you like them.
- Lemon juice: adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice helps the avocado stay green longer, and the acidity balances the smokiness of the salmon.
- Fresh chives: I love to add fresh herbs to everthing, but you could skip them or use a little dill.
- Microgreens: they're full of nutrients. They could be replaced with arugula.

Frequently Asked Questions
Avocado toasts are best made right before eating. When prepared early, avocado might get brown but use a little lemon juice which will help keeping it nice and green. But you can slice the veggies ahead of time and keep them refrigerated until ready to use.
