Chef's Note

For the best flavor, use cold-smoked salmon rather than hot-smoked. The texture is silkier and pairs beautifully with the creamy avocado. If you can find it, Norwegian salmon tends to be milder and butterier than Pacific varieties, making it perfect for this dish. For a special touch, try making your own everything bagel seasoning by combining equal parts poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and coarse salt.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices sourdough bread

  • 2 medium ripe avocados

  • 8 oz smoked salmon

  • 1/4 cup fresh dill

  • 1 whole lemon

  • 2 tbsp capers

  • 1/4 medium red onion

  • 4 oz cream cheese

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 cup microgreens

  • 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

Instructions
  • 1

    Bring the cream cheese to room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften.

  • 2

    Thinly slice the red onion and place in a small bowl with 1 tbsp of lemon juice to quick-pickle for 5 minutes.

  • 3

    Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add 1 tbsp of lemon juice, 1/2 tsp of sea salt, and mash with a fork until slightly chunky but spreadable.

  • 4

    Chop 3 tbsp of fresh dill and fold into the avocado mixture, reserving the rest for garnish.

  • 5

    Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

  • 6

    Spread about 2 tbsp of softened cream cheese on each slice of toast.

  • 7

    Top each slice with a generous layer (about 3 tbsp) of the avocado-dill mixture.

  • 8

    Arrange about 1 oz of smoked salmon on each toast, folding it gently to create height and texture.

  • 9

    Drain the quick-pickled red onions and distribute evenly among the toasts.

  • 10

    Sprinkle each toast with capers, the remaining fresh dill, and a light dusting of everything bagel seasoning.

  • 11

    Drizzle each toast with extra virgin olive oil and add a small grind of black pepper.

  • 12

    Top with a small handful of microgreens and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
