Smoked Salmon Avocado Bun Burger
Some days you have a bite of food that makes you go “woah!”
Your eyes widen.
You look down at the plate, with a look of amazement; almost pushing things around with your fork to see what’s making it so special. You take another bite, smiling as you do so, almost giggling of euphoric bliss, because it’s just so darn delicious.
This happened to me with the rediscovery of the Avocado Burger in Milan.
Simplicity at it's best. Avocado used as the bun, filled with salmon lox, ribbons of zucchini and cucumber and marche greens all seasoned in a lemon, dill sea salt mix; and, the top avo-bun sprinkled with sesame seeds.
It is through my love of these tasty avocado bites, these perfectly balanced, sometimes weekly, sometimes daily forkfuls of little gastronomic treasures that excite me.
Since this rediscovery, I've been making a lot of Avocado Bun Burgers and playing around with plenty of different ingredients. This one in particular is simple yet so delicious. Fork and knife required.

On a small bowl mix together lemon, dill sea salt, pepper and toss in salmon and bell pepper slices. Set aside.
Carefully remove the skins from the avocado halves. Slice off a small portion from the bottom of one of the halves so that they lie flat. This will be the bottom "bun" and place on a flat plate.
Top with salmon and red bell pepper.
Place the remaining avocado "buns" on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sea salt flakes.
