Open-Face Salmon & Avocado Apple “Sandwich”

This may look like lunch, but believe it or not, I’ve been eating it for breakfast and can’t believe how nourished and satisfied I feel afterwards.

Yes, I know what you’re thinking: Salmon for breakfast Melanie? Really?!

Hey, don’t knock it till you try it. Savory breakfasts tend to be more satiating because they usually contain some sort of protein, like eggs. Since I’m always trying to mix things up (and because on this particular morning we barely had any food in the house), I came up with this simple recipe that works for breakfast or lunch.

The recipe calls for only five ingredients: Wild Planet Canned Salmon (could also sub Wild Planet Tuna or hard boiled egg), chickpeas, full-fat plain Greek or Icelandic yogurt, avocado, and apple. Whatever you do, please don’t be tempted to use fat-free yogurt (blah!). The creaminess of the avocado really comes through better in the presence of whole milk yogurt. If dairy-free, you could substitute plain coconut yogurt.
