High-protein salmon toast with avocado and microgreens

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 slices sourdough bread

• 1 ripe avocado

• ½ cup cottage cheese

• 1 can Natural Catch Sustainable Coho Salmon in Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Lemon

• 1-2 teaspoons chili crunch

• Drizzle of honey or hot honey

• Microgreens, for garnish

  
  

Each ingredient plays a role in creating a toast that’s not only delicious but also rich in protein and healthy fats. The sourdough provides a crunchy base, while the avocado adds creaminess and essential nutrients. Cottage cheese boosts the protein content, and the salmon brings omega-3 fatty acids and a fresh seafood flavor. Chili crunch adds a spicy kick, balanced by the sweetness of honey.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the bread

   Lightly sprinkle olive oil on both sides of the sourdough slices. Pan-toast them over medium heat until golden and crisp on both sides. Alternatively, you can toast the bread in a toaster until it reaches a nice golden color. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

   
   

2. Smash the avocado

   Peel and pit the ripe avocado. Use a fork to smash it until smooth but still slightly chunky. Spread the smashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted sourdough.

   
   

3. Add cottage cheese

   Spoon the cottage cheese over the avocado layer. The creamy texture of the cottage cheese pairs beautifully with the avocado and adds a mild tang.

   
   

4. Layer the salmon

   Open the can of Natural Catch Sustainable Coho Salmon and flake the salmon with a fork. Spread the salmon evenly over the cottage cheese on each toast slice. The salmon’s lemon-infused olive oil adds a subtle brightness.

   
   

5. Add chili crunch

   Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of chili crunch over the salmon. This ingredient adds a spicy, crunchy texture that wakes up the flavors.

   
   

6. Drizzle honey

   For a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey or hot honey over the toast. This balances the heat from the chili crunch and complements the savory salmon.

   
   

7. Garnish and serve

   Finish by topping the toast with fresh microgreens. These add a pop of color and a slight peppery note. Serve immediately to enjoy the toast at its best.
