1. Arrange slices of smoked salmon informally on a plate. Mostly flat, but with a little twist and bend.

2. Cut up a perfectly ripe half (or whole) avocado in largish chunks and distribute on top of the salmon.

3. Whip 2-2.5 parts fresh lemon juice with 3 parts flavourful (but 'gentle' tasting) olive oil, with salt and a conservative dash of smoked paprika. Drip dressing over salmon and avocado. Don't drown the fish in dressing (it's already dead), but don't be too stingy either.

The mouth-feel of this was wonderfully smooth and oily in a good way, but the dish was still overall very fresh.
Very elegant and nutricious. With the avocado you do not need the butter on the bread.

I do something similar, instead of the avocado I use palm hearts, sliced thick and a dijon-garlic vinaigrette (I use a very light peanuts oil for it). Bread on butter.
