Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup plus 3/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 celery stalk
2 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
Sea salt or coarse salt
1 wild salmon fillet (about 1 pound and 1 inch thick), skin on
1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
1 tablespoon wasabi powder, mixed with 1 tablespoon lukewarm water
1 whole-wheat baguette (about 21 inches long)
Radish or sunflower sprouts

Steps:

  • Fill a saucepan wide enough to hold salmon with 2 1/2 inches cold water. Stir in 1/4 cup lemon juice, the celery, parsley, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Add salmon, skin side down. Cover, and simmer until salmon is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate, and let cool 20 minutes. Discard poaching liquid. Flake salmon into large pieces.
  • Put avocado, wasabi paste, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice into a food processor, and season with salt; puree. Transfer to a small bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing wrap directly onto the surface. Refrigerate until ready to use (up to 30 minutes).
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut baguette in half crosswise, and trim crust from sides; cut each half lengthwise into three 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange, flat side down, in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in oven until lightly golden, about 7 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Spread each bread slice with about 2 tablespoons avocado-wasabi mixture, and top with salmon and sprouts.

Time 10m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon prepared Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove peeled
4 slices white peasant bread
1 ripe haas avocado
1 ripe tomato
Fresh cilantro sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, with a whisk, beat together 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper. Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and beat until emulsified. Add the other 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and beat until emulsified. Top the mixture with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the garlic clove. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • On 1 slice each of bread layer sliced avocado and tomato. Drizzle the vinaigrette over sandwiches. Top with a sprig of cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or almost black in color. They should be slightly soft when gently pressed.
  • Use good quality bread: The type of bread you use will affect the overall taste of the sandwich. Choose a hearty and flavorful bread that can hold up to the creamy avocado and toppings.
  • Slice the avocado properly: To get even slices, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Then, use a sharp knife to make thin slices.
  • Season the avocado: Season the avocado slices with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to enhance their flavor.
  • Add your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for avocado sandwiches. Some popular choices include:
    • Sprouts
    • Fresh herbs (such as cilantro, basil, or parsley)
    • Sliced tomatoes
    • Cucumber
    • Bacon
    • Cheese
    • Eggs
  • Serve immediately: Avocado sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. Assemble the sandwiches just before serving to prevent the avocado from turning brown.
