Salmon and Avocado Toast
February 4, 2015
It’s the year 2015 and we are talking about toast being a food trend. Yes, a real food trend for this year. People have been buttering up or slapping their jelly on bread for years but it has finally come around to a “trend.” Or so they say….
I’m starting to wonder how they come up with these things.
For the past couple of years I’ve been eating my morning breakfast with smashed avocado toast with a little dash of salt and pepper. It’s tasty, it’s quick and it’s quite filling. I’m taking my simple toasted bread one step further today by adding salmon (lox) to my avocado toast.
I like to think of it as lox and toast. Now let’s all skip the bagel and start putting sliced bread as the forerunner again. Einstein bagel I’m coming for you with Meagan’s toast.
One of the best things about this type of recipe is it is so simple and customizable. Whether you like your toast with butter, jelly, cream cheese, scrambled eggs, smashed avocado the possibilities are quite endless.
Now who is ready for some breakfast?

The toast trend is definitely something that I’m scratching my head over. I LOVE toast, but going to a restaurant to pay $10 for some is kind of silly. Especially when you can make a gorgeous toast like this at home. Love it!
This is just awesome! What a great idea to have at a cocktail hour! These would be the hit at a party with my friends!
So pretty friend! And a great way to start the day!
Ok, I have not tried salmon lox on my bread/toast yet. Kinda freaks me out but I know I need to try it because everyone I know LOVES it! Enter — your post! Everything about this looks so healthy and a great start to the morning. Pinned!

I’ve never had salmon for breakfast, but MAN, it sounds like an amazing idea!

I seriously just looooooove smoked salmon, and this is the perfect way to eat it – I especially adore your addition of rich, creamy avocado! Your photos are just beautiful, too – I could practically taste this wonderful Salmon Toast right through my computer screen! Mmmmmm … divine! 😀
This is the most gorgeous toast!! Perfect for a brunch party!
Beautiful toasts, these would be lovely for breakfast and/or lunch!

Thank you for helping me know more about such a delicious dish.
For the past many years, my go-to breakfast has been smashed avocado on toast with a little salt and pepper. In addition to being tasty and satisfying, it’s also quick. Topping my avocado toast with salmon takes my plain toasted bread to a whole new level.
This recipe highlights the simplicity and customization possibilities of avocado toast while adding the delightful flavor of salmon. Perfect for a quick and filling breakfast!
