Salmon-filled Avocados : Low Carb High Fat Deliciousness


You could call this good Maths! It's easy and delicious! Avocado + smoked salmon = no cooking.
This creamy dish is a luxurious breakfast, quick lunch or light dinner. You may also choose to serve it as a colourful appetizer at your next dinner party. So easy... so delicious...

Ingredients:
Serves Two
7g carbs per serving
2 avocados
6 oz. smoked salmon
¾ cup crème fraiche or mayonnaise
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)

This delicious plate may also be served with any other type of fatty fish - boiled, fried or smoked, and it tastes even better with a little fresh dill!


Fresh Dill:
Dill is an important culinary herb that is used for its seeds and leaves It originally grew wild in Southern Europe thru Western Asia.



It was extensively used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Remnants of the herb were found in Swiss Neolithic settlements dating back to 400BC. By medieval times its use spread to central Europe. Dill is a popular culinary herb used in Greece, Scandinavia, Germany, Central Europe, Russia, the Balkans and Romania. References to the fresh herb can be found in the writings of Roman naturalists, English clergy and German literary works in the 11th century.

All parts of the herb can be used for culinary purposes. Dill is not a common herb in Mediterranean cooking. It is known as a spice used in pickled cucumbers. In the United States they are known as dill pickles. The herb is key for the production of dill vinegar (a key cooking ingredient in some recipes). You will find it used/employed in many sour dishes, especially sauerkraut. You will find dill used in lemon sauces for fish, yogurt, sour cream, salad dressings, spinach dishes, chicken and lamb casseroles. Because of its delicate nature most chefs add the fresh herb to their hot recipes just prior to removing from the heat source.

I grow lots of dill and use it with many dishes. I like it in eggs, or my favorite is a dill gravy

This seems like a really wonderful combination. I very much enjoy all of the ingredients and use them regularly. I have to go to the deli today, so perhaps this is the time to pick up smoked salmon and have a regal lunch!

Two things I don't like, avocados and smoked salmon. I'm sure it will be a winner with most people though.

Not one to tickle my taste buds but I'm sure salmon lovers will be reaching for the avocados.

I love avocados and smoked salmon; this sounds like a wonderful pairing. I've had avocados with tinned salmon and that's good too.

Hello Jan, it really does look pretty on the plate, but sadly I don’t like avocado or smoked salmon so I won’t be trying this one. My husband, on the other hand, would love it!
Have a lovely day, Barbara

Just got through eating an avocado! We try to split one every day. I love salmon too but have never thought of having it together. Sounds good!
