Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1 tbsp lemon juice; stir well and set aside to let flavors meld.

4. Step 4: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted sourdough slices.
5. Step 5: Top each toast with the warm smoked salmon pieces, then drizzle generously with the lemon-dill yogurt mixture.
6. Step 6: Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes on top if you like a mild kick, and serve immediately for a rich, tangy brunch treat.
