Welcome to the first – of many – weekend brunch recipe posts! It’s a new feature I thought would be fun for both of us, because let’s be honest, doesn’t brunch food just rock? Sometimes the recipes will be quick and simple – like this pretty little tartine – other times I’ll go a little more Martha and get really into it. Either way, it’s going to be an awesome way for us to share brunch every weekend. Yay! Let’s do this.
These smoked salmon & smashed avocado tartines take the famous avocado toast to a whole new (amazing!) level. Smoked salmon and smashed avocados are totally soul mates, and they sail this simple French open-faced sweetie to – wait for it – legendary sandwich status.
If you’re making these for a brunch party that has a few vegertarians in the mix, make some minus the salmon for a fun twist on avocado toast 🙂
They’ll be a hit either way. And that’s a promise.
See you tomorrow! xo

- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 ounces smoked salmon

- Fresh lemon juice for squeezing
- 1/2 teaspoon crush red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Smash 1/2 an avocado on a piece of toast until it resembles the consistency of guacamole. Layer on (1/2) of the tomato, salmon, cucumbers, and capers.

I’m a distance runner and eat these frequently before heading out on training runs. They have so many health fats that I feel like I can run forever! Highly recommend this recipe to any other endurance athletes (or anyone who FEELS like an endurance athlete chasing their kids around) out there.

This recipe was amazing! I keep on searching for some healthy salmon recipes and this recipe was really liked by my entire family. My husband is diagnosed with hypothyroidism and he loved it too. He has to include salmon in his diet and this will be a regular thing for him now. Thank you.

How would recommend making this ahead of time for a lunch/snack (without the lemon juice, olive oil making the bread mushy?

Hi Lisa. This really is best made right before serving. That said, I find it takes 5 minutes to assemble, making it a great option when you’re short on time 🙂
