Today I'm making toasted molletes with avocado and smoked salmon, a simple recipe that's ready in 10 minutes and works just as well for breakfast as it does for an easy weeknight dinner. The avocado brings rich creaminess that pairs beautifully with the salmon, while fresh lime adds a bright, zesty touch that balances every bite.
If you're in the mood for an avocado sandwich with something extra, this combination uses just a handful of ingredients with zero hassle. I like to finish it with whatever herbs and spices I have on hand and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. For the best result, choose a ripe avocado that's easy to mash and assemble everything right before serving.
To keep your breakfasts exciting, I recommend my Fluffy Oat Pancakes and my Cold Rice Pudding-Style Oatmeal, two sweet ideas to rotate with these savory molletes.
It's best to assemble them right before eating so the bread stays crisp and doesn't get soggy. If you want to prep the avocado ahead, toss it with lime juice and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge; store the smoked salmon separately following package directions.
Yes, simply swap the molletes for your favorite gluten-free bread rolls. Be sure to check the labels on your spices and smoked salmon as well, and use clean utensils to prevent cross-contamination.
Yes, lemon works wonderfully too, offering that bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the avocado and salmon. Add it a little at a time and taste to adjust to your liking.
