Four 1-inch-thick slices rye bread
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped preserved lemon
Freshly ground black pepper
2 avocados, sliced
Flaky salt or coarse kosher salt
4 ounces smoked salmon

Sesame seeds (I like a mix of black and white sesame seeds), for sprinkling

Steps:

Melt a thin layer of butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the bread and toast on both sides until golden, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Combine the sour cream, preserved lemon and a few turns of pepper in a small bowl.
To assemble, dollop the preserved lemon sour cream all over the bread, then top with slices of avocado. Season the avocado with salt. Nestle in the slices of salmon, radishes and cornichons. Top with black pepper and crushed red pepper, if using. Sprinkle with the chives or dill and sesame seeds, then serve with the lemon wedges. Enjoy!
