Scottish Smoked Salmon Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Toast bread

   Lightly toast the sourdough slices until golden and crisp. Brush both sides with olive oil while warm and set aside.

2. 2

   Mash avocado

   Scoop out the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Mash to your desired texture, then stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Make lemon-chive crème fraîche

   In a separate bowl, mix crème fraîche with finely grated lemon zest and chopped chives until evenly combined. Season lightly with a pinch of salt if desired.

4. 4

   Assemble

   Spread the avocado mash over each toasted slice. Top with a handful of wild arugula, then layer smoked salmon. Add pickled red onion, dollop with the lemon-chive crème fraîche, and finish with a squeeze of lemon from the wedge.
