Avocado Canapés with Smoked Salmon
·Preparing the avocado
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Slice carefully, as inside there's a large hard pit that you'll need to cut the flesh around. If your avocado is nicely ripe, this should be easy, and the pit should come out without any trouble.
Tip
When I make this recipe exactly to the quantities listed, I use one avocado for the spread and slice the second avocado, laying the slices between the salmon and the baguette slice with the spread.
Drizzling with lime
Scoop out the first avocado with a spoon and blend or mash it with a fork. Don't forget to drizzle it with a little lime juice and mix well. Carefully cut and scoop out the second avocado, then slice it.
Seasoning
Add soft cheese or bread spread to the mashed avocado, whichever you prefer. I sometimes mix both together if I happen to have both open in the fridge. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
Serving
Slice the baguette, spread with the avocado mixture, top with avocado slices, then salmon, and garnish with fresh dill.
