Salmon Avocado Toast
I am always trying to come up with new avocado toast ideas. This salmon avocado toast recipe came from my daughter-in-law's love for smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers on bagels. She loves it so much it was the first thing she ate after giving birth to my grandson. It was a long nine months for someone who craves smoked salmon!

This recipe was made for my daughter-in-law and since I follow a low carb keto friendly diet I knew I had to be able to enjoy this recipe also. Since the only thing not keto friendly in this recipe is the bread, it's as easy as making 1 substitution.

🍽 Equipment
Small mixing bowl
Flat wire whisk (to mash the avocado), I use this one and it works perfectly.
Sharp knife to slice the onion

Toaster, this is the BEST toaster out there! I love it so much I bought one for my parents. I have owned mine for almost 20 years and it still works like new.
🔪 Instructions

Toast the bread until lightly browned. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over top of the warm toast.

Add the smoked salmon to the top of the avocado and garnish with red onion slices and capers.
💭 Top Tips
- Pick a great avocado. Avocados that give a gentle squeeze.
- Remove any brown spots on the avocado before using.
- Make sure to use a sturdy bread. I used a Tuscan Pane bread that is firm when toasted.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice to the mashed avocado to keep it from turning brown and give it a light citrus overtone.
📖 Variations
- Cut a garlic clove in half and rub it over top of the toast just as it comes out of the toaster to add garlic flavor.
- Add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning to the assembled recipe.
- Put a soft cooked egg or hard boiled egg slices on top of the mashed avocado before topping with the remaining ingredients.
- Top with Pickled Red Onions or pickled jalapenos.
