Why You'll Love Avocado Toast w/ Chili Crisp Smoked Salmon & Soy Cured Egg Yolk

This isn't your average avocado toast-think creamy avocado layered with smoky, chili-laced salmon and topped with a luxuriously rich soy-cured yolk. It's a textural masterpiece with flavor that punches way above its weight. Every bite delivers spice, umami, and indulgence in one toast-sized package.

Tips and Tricks

• Use day-old sourdough for a crispier, sturdier base that can hold all the toppings.
• Slice the avocado instead of mashing for a cleaner, more elegant presentation.
• Make the soy-cured egg yolks a day ahead for best texture and intensity of flavor.

Variations

Swap out toppings or add-ons to riff on the classic while keeping that craveable balance.

• Substitute smoked trout or sardines for the salmon for a tinned fish twist.
• Swap microgreens for thinly sliced scallions or chives for a sharper bite.
• Add a dash of rice vinegar or yuzu juice for brightness if your chili crisp is extra spicy.

Substitutions

No soy yolks or specific brand of tinned fish? No problem-plenty of ways to keep the vibe alive.

• Use a soft-boiled egg or jammy yolk in place of the soy-cured yolk.
• Replace chili crisp salmon with plain smoked salmon and add your own chili crisp on top.
• If out of microgreens, fresh cilantro or baby arugula works beautifully.

Best served with

• Matcha latte or cold brew coffee
• Crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette
• Fresh fruit or citrus segments
• Glass of sparkling water with cucumber slices

How to Store Leftovers

• Avocado toast is best eaten immediately, but you can prep the components ahead. Store the soy-cured yolks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Keep tinned salmon sealed or transfer leftovers to a sealed glass container. Avoid assembling until ready to eat to prevent soggy toast.
