SALMON AND LIME TOSTADAS

 

I always like to celebrate with a little salmon and this easy way of dressing it up is not only fun but seriously delicious.

 

Serves 4

Ingredients

4-8 small tortillas

2-3 Tbsp cooking oil

180g smoked salmon, sliced

1 chilli, finely sliced

1-2 avocados, sliced thinly

1 red onion, thinly sliced

Pinch salt and sugar

2 limes

250g sour cream

Sea salt and cracked pepper

Extra virgin olive oil

Method

Heat 2 Tbsp cooking oil in fry pan. When hot add one tortilla and fry until puffed and golden. Turnover and cook for another minute or until golden. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Continue cooking the remaining tortillas.

Place the salmon slices decoratively on a plate.

Thinly slice the red onion, mix with pinch of salt and sugar and squeeze a little lime juice, toss to combine and let sit for a couple of minutes to quickly pickle.

Slice the avocado, place on plate, squeeze over a little lime juice, sprinkle of salt and pepper and drizzle over a little extra virgin olive oil.

Mix the sour cream and put into a little bowl, drizzle over a little extra virgin olive oil and pinch sea salt.

Finely slice the chilli and put into a little bowl.

To assemble - i like to put the tostadas, salmon, avocado, onions etc in the middle of the table and you can assemble as you please.  I like to spread a little sour cream over the base, followed by salmon, avocado, onion, chilli and finish with a generous squeeze of lime.
