Although avocado toast is typically a breakfast or lunch option, the addition of poke turns it into an on-trend shareable or appetizer—especially when cut into smaller pieces. This version includes a sesame-miso spread and wasabi-citrus sauce to double the umami factor.
Ingredients
Sesame-miso spread
¼ cup water
1 tbsp. mellow white miso
1/3 cup ground sesame
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. soy sauce
Wasabi-citrus sauce

1 cup lemon juice
½ cup olive oil
2 tsp. sesame oil
2 tsp. grated gingerroot
3 tbsp. minced garlic
2 tbsp. wasabi powder
2 tbsp. black sesame seeds
Poke
1½ lb. sushi grade salmon, diced
6 oz. cucumber, thinly sliced
6 tbsp. thinly sliced white onion
¾ cup chopped green onion
6 tbsp. edamame
2½ cups wasabi-citrus sauce
Avocado toast
12 slices artisan sourdough bread with sesame seeds
12 ripe avocados, peeled, seeded and mashed
2 tbsp. lemon juice
Himalayan pink salt
1½ cups baby arugula
Freshly ground pepper and furikake, for garnish
