Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. You can do this using a toaster or under a broiler in the oven for about 3-5 minutes.
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the mashed avocado. Add the sea salt and black pepper to the avocado mixture and mix until combined.
Finely chop the fresh dill and slice the red onion thinly. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado mixture over each slice.
Divide the smoked salmon equally among the slices of avocado-topped toast.
Top each piece with the sliced red onion and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over each slice and sprinkle with the chopped dill.
For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the assembled toasts before serving.
