Salmon, Avocado, and Crispy Bread Bowl
17/11/2023I can guide you in preparing a bowl with salmon, avocado, and crispy bread. Here’s how to do it:
Ingredients
- 200 g of fresh or smoked salmon
- 1 ripe avocado
- 100 g of stale bread or sandwich bread
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
- Sesame seeds or other seeds for garnish (optional)
- Chives or fresh coriander for garnish (optional)
- Vegetables of your choice (such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, etc.), cut into small pieces
Preparation
-
Start by preparing the crispy bread. Cut the bread into small cubes, spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake at 180°C (about 350°F) for about 10-15 minutes or until they become golden and crispy. Take them out and let them cool.
-
Meanwhile, cut the salmon into uniformly sized cubes (if you’re using fresh salmon, you can quickly sear it in a pan with a drizzle of oil until just cooked).
-
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and then cut the flesh into cubes, spraying it with lemon juice to prevent browning.
-
In a large bowl, gently combine the salmon cubes, avocado cubes, and your choice of vegetables.
-
Distribute the mix of ingredients into individual bowls and garnish with the crispy bread.
-
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped chives, or coriander as desired, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and another spray of lemon juice.
-
Lastly, adjust the salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Curiosity
Bowls have become a very popular gastronomic trend because they encapsulate a complete and balanced meal in a single serving. They can be personalized according to individual preferences and dietary needs, making them perfect for any occasion. The mix of textures and flavors in this bowl, with the crunchiness of the bread, the creaminess of the avocado, and the freshness of the salmon, makes it a tasty and healthy choice.
For an Italian touch, you could, for example, add some chopped fresh basil or a sprinkle of oregano.
