For 4 servings
Toast the sourdough slices until golden brown and crisp. This can be done in a toaster, on a grill pan over medium heat, or under a broiler for about 2-3 minutes per side. A sturdy toast is key to prevent sogginess.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado. Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Immediately add the fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
Add the sea salt and black pepper to the avocado. Using a fork, mash to your desired consistency. For the best texture, leave it slightly chunky rather than completely smooth. This should take about 1 minute.
Once the toast is ready, spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each warm slice, covering it from edge to edge.
Artfully arrange the smoked salmon slices over the avocado. Sprinkle evenly with the thinly sliced red onion, drained capers, and freshly chopped dill.
Finish with a light drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if using. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm, crisp toast and cool, creamy toppings.
