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.

I'm not sure about the avocado-wasabi spread. It's a bit too spicy for me.

I'm not a big fan of salmon but this recipe changed my mind. The avocado-wasabi spread is a great complement to the salmon and the whole sandwich is delicious.
