This easy open-faced sandwich recipe is the perfect light lunch option or post-workout snack. Colourful ingredients like salmon and avocado add loads of fun to your plate (You eat with your eyes first after all!). Fibre-rich rye will keep you full for a long time, while the fresh herbs provide a flavourful variety.
WHAT YOU NEED (SERVES 4):
2 avocados
1 clove of garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
Fresh lemon juice
4 slices of whole-grain rye bread, about 200 g
A few slices smoked salmon, about 160 g
Fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill or chives
Fresh chillies, chopped
Optional: a dollop of sour cream
HOW TO PREPARE:
- Mash the avocado and add garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Spread over the slices of toasted whole-grain rye bread.
- Arrange the smoked salmon on the mashed avocado and top with fresh herbs and chopped chillies. If desired, finish off with a dollop of sour cream. Instead of smoked salmon, sliced turkey breast also works well.

Good to know
Salmon is a good source of vitamin D and antioxidant selenium, which helps prevent cell damage. It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which boost the production of collagen and therefore benefit healthy and youthful-looking skin. Eating salmon two to three times a week can also offer many cardiovascular benefits, including the prevention of heart attacks and high blood pressure.
