Ingredients
  

  • You'll NeedPreparation time: 10 minutesCooking time: 10 minutesServings: 4
  • 2 large , ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 4 ounces (113 g / 4 oz) wild-caught smoked salmon
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 fresh limes, one for juice and one cut into wedges for garnish
  • Freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, to taste
  • for Perfect Stuffed Avocados
  • To prevent the avocado halves from wobbling on the plate, slice a tiny sliver of skin off the bottom of each half to create a flat, stable base.
  • Feel free to add a sprinkle of capers, finely diced red onion, or fresh chives to the salmon for an extra layer of flavor.

Method
 

  1. Step-by-Step 1.
  2. Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
  3. Brush the cut surfaces with a little lime juice to prevent browning and season with a pinch of sea salt and pepper. 2. Gently flake or chop the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a small bowl, toss the salmon with the juice of one lime. 3.
  5. Divide the lime-kissed salmon evenly, arranging it inside the avocado wells. 4.
  6. Top each stuffed avocado half with the halved cherry tomatoes and garnish with a fresh lime wedge before serving immediately.
  7. While best served fresh, you can prep the salmon filling an hour or two in advance. Only cut and fill the avocados just before serving to prevent browning.
