Simple Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Smoked Salmon: Look for high-quality smoked salmon that has no coloring and natural smoked salmon for the best taste. If you can’t find smoked salmon, you can also use cooked salmon and serve it chilled. However, it won’t have the smoky cured flavor that smoked salmon is known for.
  • Avocado: This ingredient provides a nice buttery texture that is smooth and creamy and is a great accompaniment to the smoked salmon.
  • English Muffin: These taste even better toasted. You can also use mini bagels as an alternative option.
  • Sliced cucumber: You will often find smoked salmon paired with cucumber because it offers a light and refreshing taste to the smoked salmon .
  • Lemon Juice: Lemon adds some acidity and brightness to help cut through the saltiness of the smoked salmon.

Easy Steps to Assemble This Recipe

  1. Toast the English muffin in a toaster.
  2. Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin slices.
  3. Layer the sliced avocado on the bottom slice, followed by the salmon, and cucumber.

Meal Prep Tips

  • To Serve: You can spread cream cheese or creme fraiche onto the English muffins. Other great toppings include capers, pickled shallots, or freshly chopped dill.
  • To Store: If you are storing this ahead of time, keep the salmon, cucumber, and avocado separate from the English muffin to prevent it from getting soggy. You will also want to wait to slice the avocado until you are ready to eat the meal to prevent it from browning early. Otherwise, you can store all the ingredients in an airtight meal prep container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for the best quality.
