This is one of my favorite recipes, the kind you go back to again because its just so good. It’s versatile enough to be an appetizer or to have for a light dinner or lunch. It’s salty, crunchy, umami flavor combined with avocado make your stomach full but your mouth still wanting more. The recipe comes together in a short time Just make sure you get the freshest, best quality fish you can. Also, if you’re not a fan of tuna, bass, or salmon work well too. Enjoy!

I need to see you cut the bread and prepare and slice avocado. This recipe is gorgeous.

I’m all in. Where’s the full recipe?? Can’t wait to make this!

Hi Carolina – This recipe sounds really tasty, and it looks beautiful . . . but I’m a little confused about how to deal with the avocado! In step 3, the recipe says: “Thinly slice the avocado, then flatten with your palm mentioning the same shape.” The instagram video shows overlapping avocado slices, cut to fit the squares of bread. I agree with Melissa’s comment – I’m just not quite sure how to get from thinly sliced to squares of avocado slices fitting onto the bread!
Thanks!!
