Ingredients

8 slices whole-grain bread, sliced 1/4 inch thick, toasted

2 ripe avocados, seeded, peeled and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick 

1 lemon, halved

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

8 slices smoked salmon (about 8 ounces) 

Gravlax Sauce (recipe follows)

1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced crosswise in half-rounds 

Dill fronds, for serving

Gravlax Sauce

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey mustard

1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

2 1/2 tablespoons good white wine vinegar

2 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons grapeseed oil

2 tablespoons minced fresh dill

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

  1. Place the toasted bread on a cutting board and overlap slices of avocado on each piece of bread, using a quarter to half an avocado for each, depending on the size of the avocado and the bread. Sprinkle the avocado with lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place one large slice of salmon on top, ribboning it to fit. Drizzle with a tablespoon of the sauce.
  2. Garnish with some red onion, sprinkle with the dill fronds, salt and pepper, and serve with extra sauce on the side.

Gravlax Sauce

  1. Whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey mustard, whole-grain mustard, ground mustard, sugar and vinegar in a medium bowl. Combine the olive and grapeseed oils in a small measuring cup. Slowly add the oil mixture to the mustard mixture, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Stir in the dill and salt.

I’ve made this many times. It’s easy, beautiful on a big white platter and delicious. If you don’t have avocado use tomatoes and cucumbers.
