Ingredients
- 10 slices crusty bread eg ciabatta, sourdough or baguette - if slices are large then halve
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tomatoes medium
- ¼ red onion optional (see notes)
- 3 oz smoked salmon approximately
- 8 leaves fresh basil approximately
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or more to taste, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 pinch salt plus a little extra to top
- 1 pinch pepper
Instructions
- Toast the slices of bread so they are gently browned. They should be crisp but not overly dark.
- Remove the skin from the garlic and rub the end over the slices of bread. Drizzle a little oil on each slice.
- Finely dice the tomato and onion, if using, removing at least some of the seeds from the tomato as you go (you want to keep moisture down). Dice the smoked salmon. Tear the basil into relatively small pieces.
- PLace the tomato, onion, smoked salmon and basil in a small bowl and dd the olive oil and some salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently so everything is well distributed but without breaking the chunks.
- Spoon the salmon-tomato mixture on to the bread, drizzle over a little more olive oil and a sprinkle of salt then serve.
Notes
Bruschetta topping does not traditionally include onion, but smoked salmon is also not traditional so feel free to include or not, as you prefer. It does pair well with the salmon and adds a little extra texture, but you may find it too overpowering and prefer it without. I like it both ways, so some depends who I am serving it to.
Be sure to pick a ripe tomato, and one with good flavor. I like heirloom both for flavor and they have less seeds, if they are available. Roma are similar as alternative.
