Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese, and Capers

Ingredients

• 1 slice country or sourdough bread, approximately 1/2 inch thick
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon goat cheese, or enough to spread a thin layer over surface of bread
• 1/2 medium pitted and peeled Hass avocado
• 1 teaspoon capers, plus more to taste
• 2 slices tomato from 1 medium tomato
• 3 thin slices red onion, cut in rounds from 1 medium onion
• 3 pieces thinly sliced smoked salmon
• Freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste, from 1/2 lemon
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Brush the bread lightly with olive oil, then toast it until it’s done the way you like. Cover the toast with a thin layer of goat cheese.
2. Add the avocado on top, and use a fork to mash and spread it across the bread. Scatter the capers over the avocado, then layer on the tomato, red onion, and smoked salmon.
3. Finish with lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Serve right away.
