Frequently asked questions
- How long does a Smoked Salmon and Avocado Breakfast Bowl take to make?
- About 25 minutes: 10 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of cooking for the quinoa.
- Can I make the Smoked Salmon and Avocado Breakfast Bowl ahead?
- Yes, cook the quinoa and make the dressing the night before. Cut the avocado and flake the salmon just before eating so the avocado stays green.
- How do I stop avocado going brown?
- Cut it just before serving and toss it with the lemon dressing straight away. The acid in the lemon juice slows browning.
- Can I use cold-smoked salmon instead of hot-smoked?
- Yes, tear cold-smoked salmon into ribbons instead of flaking it. It has a silkier texture and a milder smoky flavour.
- What can I use instead of quinoa in a salmon breakfast bowl?
- Swap it for couscous, brown rice or bulgur wheat. Let it cool slightly before tossing with the tomatoes, cucumber and dressing.
