Smoked Salmon, Za’atar & Avocado Sunshine Stack

‘This tastes like summer, the preserved lemon and Za’atar make all the difference’

Some summer afternoons call for food that’s every bit as bright as the sunshine itself. Inspired by colourful outdoor lunches, this recipe layers creamy avocado, crisp toasted sourdough, smoked salmon and a perfectly soft poached egg into a beautiful open sandwich that feels both indulgent and wonderfully fresh. Every bite delivers citrus, herbs, gentle warmth and creamy richness without feeling heavy, making it perfect for leisurely lunches, garden gatherings or a relaxed weekend brunch.

Serves 2

Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 10 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

2 large slices artisan sourdough

2 ripe avocados

2 free-range eggs

120g smoked salmon

1 tbsp Greenfields Za’atar

½ tsp Greenfields Aleppo Chilli

½ tsp Greenfields Sumac

1 tbsp Greenfields Preserved Lemon, finely chopped

1 tsp Greenfields Black Sesame Seeds

1 tbsp Greenfields Chives

1 tbsp Greenfields Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Juice of ½ lemon

Fresh micro herbs

Freshly ground Greenfields Black Pepper

Greenfields Himalayan Pink Salt Fine, to taste

  1. Toast the sourdough until crisp and golden.
  2. Mash the avocado with lemon juice, olive oil, chopped Greenfields Preserved Lemon, half the Za’atar, a pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt and Black Pepper.
  3. Poach the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain deliciously runny.
  4. Spread a generous layer of avocado over each slice of sourdough.
  5. Arrange ribbons of smoked salmon over the avocado.
  6. Carefully place a poached egg on top.
  7. Sprinkle over the remaining Greenfields Za’atar, Sumac, Aleppo Chilli, Black Sesame Seeds and fresh chives.
  8. Finish with micro herbs, an extra drizzle of olive oil and serve immediately alongside a colourful seasonal fruit salad or chilled fresh juice.
For extra crunch, sprinkle over a little Greenfields Dukkah before serving. Swap smoked salmon for grilled halloumi for a delicious vegetarian variation. The preserved lemon adds a subtle citrus depth that transforms the avocado without overpowering it. Serve with sparkling citrus water or homemade hibiscus iced tea for the ultimate summer lunch.
