Smoked salmon, wasabi & avocado on granary bread

This is not on toast, but it is bliss. The texture is so decadently soft, it seemed a pity to spoil it with crunchy toast, so I have stuck to bread. I had something like this, made with home-cured gravlax, in a Michelin-starred restaurant. As gravlax (which is raw unsmoked salmon cured with salt, sugar and lots of dill) is not easy to find and takes at least two days to make, I thought bought smoked salmon would be easier. But if you can get gravlax (sometimes spelled gravadlax), give it a try. It’s sweeter and milder.
