Method

1
Spread Lurpak® butter on one side of each slice of bread.
TIP
For a satisfying crunch, toast the bread slightly on a pan after buttering it. Butter both sides of the bread to get two nice, crisp, golden sides. Use a panini press or a hot skillet to toast the bread. Press down gently for even browning. The bread turns golden and crispy in minutes, while the inside stays warm and soft. It is delicious and has some crispness to hold the soft salmon and creamy avocado.
2
Add a bed of rocket leaves, sliced avocado, and salmon.
TIP
Choose high-quality smoked salmon. Use what is available, but Scottish and Norwegian smoked salmon are excellent choices, known for their balanced flavours and silky textures. If you prefer a more pungent, smoky taste, opt for Irish smoked salmon. For a milder option, Nova Lox works well, while Wild Alaskan smoked salmon offers a rich, natural flavour.
3
Top with red onion and close the sandwich.

Cook up a glorious yet simple salmon and avocado sandwich

Enjoy smoky salmon and creamy avocado in a flavourful symphony. The sandwich has luscious layers of red onion and rocket leaves on brown sourdough bread with a slightly salty layer of creamy butter. The subtle crunch of the bread makes the perfect foundation for the smoothness of the avocado and the tenderness of the salmon. Whether you are preparing a quick lunch or an easy dinner, this sandwich promises satisfying, irresistible flavours.

Creamy avocado and smoked salmon on sourdough bread

Experience the luxurious blend of creamy avocado and smoky salmon atop crisp, flavourful sourdough bread. The buttery avocado slices create a creamy layer, while the smoked salmon adds a rich, savoury depth. With Lurpak® in hand, you add a delicious layer that enhances the softness and flavour of the bread. The combination of creaminess and delicate smokiness is a classic, making each bite a delight that will give you everything you crave from your meal.

Savoury rocket leaves and crisp red onion rings

Make the sandwich even better with the sharp, peppery flavour of fresh rocket and the crisp bite of thinly sliced red onion. The rocket leaves add a vibrant, slightly bitter note that balances the creamy avocado and rich salmon, while the red onion brings a sharp, refreshing crunch. This combination adds complexity to the sandwich and makes it more visually appealing with the bright green and deep purple colours. The freshness of the rocket and the zest of the red onion create a lively, invigorating bite that enhances the overall experience. If you like rocket salad, you can also try our savoury steak sandwich with caramelised onions , which also contain red onion. You can also find them in our recipes for club sandwich  and eggs Florentine with aubergine .

Delicious lunch or light dinner with sides

This salmon and avocado sandwich is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with different sides. Serve it as it is for lunch, simply enjoying the fillings encased in flavourful sourdough bread. For dinner, choose some sides to turn it into a satisfying meal. Serve it with oven-baked sweet potato fries for a sweet and savoury contrast to the richness of the sandwich, or pair it with a quinoa salad full of fresh vegetables. For a varied texture and flavour, consider a side of crisp greens or oven-roasted root vegetables such as carrots, beetroot, and celeriac. For a lighter, fresher option, make a green salad with seeds and your favourite vegetables and serve it with a sweet honey-mustard dressing or a tangy vinaigrette.

Perfect your salmon and avocado sandwich

Experiment with different ingredients to transform your sandwich from simple to sublime. Elevate the flavour by adding a sprinkle of dill or a few capers to the salmon for a briny, salty flavour. Eggs and avocado are a classic, and whether you use poached, hard-boiled, or soft-boiled eggs, they will make a true delight. Add slices of tomato for a juicy burst, or experiment with different greens instead of rocket leaves. Spinach offers a mild, sweet flavour, while a spring mix adds variety and romaine lettuce provides a refreshing crunch. You can add thin slices of cucumber for a refreshing and juicy touch that also contributes a bit of bite. Try different spreads for an exciting twist. A homemade pesto spread brings a fresh, herby flavour that pairs perfectly with the smoky salmon and creamy avocado. Use tzatziki or add a spicy contrast with horseradish cream for a tangy touch. You can also try a layer of cream cheese on one of the bread slices for a rich yet mild element that adds to the overall creaminess.
