8 slices whole-grain bread, sliced 1/4 inch thick, toasted
2 ripe avocados, seeded, peeled, and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
1 lemon, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices smoked salmon (about 8 ounces)
Gravlax Sauce, recipe follows
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced crosswise in half-rounds
Dill fronds, for serving
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey mustard
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons good white wine vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

Place the toasted bread on a cutting board and overlap slices of avocado on each piece of bread, using a quarter to half an avocado for each, depending on the sizes of the avocado and the bread.
Sprinkle the avocado with lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place one large slice of salmon on top, ribboning it to fit. Drizzle with a tablespoon of the Gravlax Sauce. Garnish with some red onion, sprinkle with the dill fronds, salt, and pepper, and serve with extra sauce on the side.
Whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey mustard, whole-grain mustard, ground mustard, sugar, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Combine the olive and grapeseed oils in a small measuring cup. Slowly add the oil mixture to the mustard mixture, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Stir in the dill and salt.
