Preparation

In a medium bowl, gently mix (don’t mash) the avocado, scallion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and 1/4 tsp. salt. In another medium bowl, mix the oil, coriander, and orange zest. Toss the salmon with the oil mixture. Rub the toasts lightly with the cut sides of the garlic clove. Divide the avocado mixture among the toasts. Pile the salmon strips on top. Garnish with the cilantro leaves and serve immediately so the toast stays crisp.

I loved this recipe! I'm very surprised someone found it bland, I agree with the other reviewers that it was very flavorful. One of my favorites for serving canapés at parties...

This is a delicious and light dish for brunch or a quick, weekday dinner. It's healthy and easy to make.

Is it possible the nutritional information is not accurate? 440 calories for one piece seems way too high?
