Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 4 oz Smoked Salmon
  • 1 tablespoon Capers
  • 1 tablespoon Red Onion

Prepare the Avocado

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Place the avocado in a bowl and mash it with a fork. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine. The lemon juice will help prevent the avocado from browning.

Assemble the Canapés

Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on each toast point. Top with a piece of smoked salmon. Sprinkle with capers and finely diced red onion. Garnish with fresh dill, if desired. Serve immediately.

FAQ

  • Can I prepare the avocado ahead of time?

    It's best to prepare the avocado just before assembling the canapés to prevent browning. However, if you need to prepare it in advance, cover the mashed avocado tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado. This will minimize air exposure.
  • What can I use instead of capers?

    If you don't have capers, you can use chopped cornichons or gherkins for a similar salty and briny flavor.
  • Can I add a spicy element?

    Yes, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mashed avocado or a drizzle of sriracha mayo on top of the smoked salmon.
