I know I always post dessert recipes but I cook everyday complete meals for my family. I just don’t have the time to photograph it before serving. But now that my brother (a talented photographer and instagramer @d_malou) is back home, he very kindly helps with the food photography, improving the quality of my posts 😉  Anyway, I’m better at dessert but there a few meals or recipes I created that are worth posting.
This is my best recipe so far I think. It’s kind of a burger but much easier as you just put the smoked salmon as it is with no fuss mixing and making burger patties.
The famous Kaiser buns (These little round buns are all the fashion now!) are toasted a few minutes in a frying pan with olive oil for extra crispiness and when you drip a bit of lemon juice on the inside of the top before assembling it just tastes perfect!
Serve with crispy oven-baked fries and you have a chic and delicious “fast-food” meal 😉
Mmmh, red onion soaked in lemon juice, creamy avocado, dill, smoked salmon… Can’t be bad, huh?
