I made a loaf of rye bread (I make bread dough in a
bread machine similar to this one
and then bake the dough in the oven to make the homemade bread come out light
and fluffy) after finally remembering to buy rye flour I went grocery
shopping. (Disclosure: I am including affiliate links for your convenience.)
After a few morning meals of homemade rye bread toast with honey for
breakfast, I wanted to kick things up a notch. A quick Aldi run inspired me to
make one of my favorite quick, healthy, tastes fancy but is frugal (because
Aldi’s low prices lets us eat fancy for cheap) breakfast recipes – smoked
salmon and spinach avocado rye toast.
This is a great breakfast recipe if you are hosting a brunch, have house
guests, or just want to treat yourself – which I highly recommended by
the way.
I make smoked salmon toast as a dairy free breakfast or brunch recipe to keep
it dairy allergy friendly. If you want to add cheesy goodness – feel free!
You will need the following ingredients:
A slice(s) of your favorite type of bread. Today I am using rye bread
because that’s what I have on hand.
Thin sliced smoked salmon, or lox, if you like. Just keep
in mind that lox tastes slightly salter than smoked salmon and you may need to
adjust the other ingredients to taste.
Fresh spinach leaves
Honey mustard – I am using German honey mustard which I think makes it
taste much, much, better (you can
buy the Offering Sweet German Honey Mustard I used here)
Dill – you can use either fresh dill if you have it or dried dill.
Avocado
Step by Step Instructions to Make this Recipe:
-
Toast the bread.
-
Spread the mustard on the toast.
-
Add spinach leaves, sliced avocado, and smoked salmon to taste.
-
Top with a quick kiss (or more or less) of dill.
-
Eat. Enjoy. Repeat!
Here are some tips for making Salmon and Spinach Avocado Toast:
-
Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread like French, sourdough, or rye
bread will hold up well to the toppings. I have used all with great tasty
success! -
Don’t overcrowd the toast with toppings. It’s better to have a few thin
slices of smoked salmon than a lot of thick slices. -
If you don’t have fresh dill, you can use dried dill. Just remember that
dried herbs have a slightly more intense flavor than fresh herbs and
adjust accordingly. -
You can also add other toppings to this easy smoked salmon toast recipe
such as cucumber, tomato, cream or cashew cheese to name a few. -
Smoked salmon toast is also a great appetizer or light lunch idea. It’s
also perfect for brunch or a snack!
