Smoked Salmon Avocado Tartine – a simple but delicious twist on avocado toast from The Gourmet Kitchen.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, it’s been a week of bagels! Here, and here, and here. I even MADE bagels this week and was crowned (by myself) Bagel Queen! (Move over Beyonce.)
So it’s no secret I love bagels. But even I get tired of them (I’ll pause to let that sink in for a moment.) Sometimes I want a bialy, or just toast. It’s true. But I never get tired of lox, which is why I was excited to see this easy recipe in my friend Jennifer’s new cookbook The Gourmet Kitchen!
I’ve been a fan of Jennifer’s simple but unique recipes and GORGEOUS photography for years. Her recipes are special yet perfect for every day. Does that make sense? They seem effortless yet impressive. Having attended culinary school, Jennifer knows her stuff but can explain complex concepts and techniques in a way everyone can understand.
So it’s no surprise her cookbook is full of recipes that are visually beautiful but are also delicious. 
I had a hard time deciding what to make first. Oatmeal Stout Beer Bread, Spinach, Artichoke, and Caramelized Leek Tart, Brownies with Tahini frosting!! Eventually I’ll get to those, but I was hungry now, and this Smoked Salmon Avocado Tartine was calling my name. 
All my favorite flavors on naan instead of a bagel!
I used my Everything Bagel Spice instead of just salt, and added a squeeze of lemon because I can’t just make a recipe as is (see: Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies. I may have a problem)
Avocado on everything.
