Smoked Salmon Tartines0:43 – 3:57

0:43

I just love Christina Tosi, and one thing I know about her is she's a snacker.

0:48

So I'm gonna make smoked salmon tartines so she can kind of eat them during the day, and I'm gonna make a gravlax sauce to put on top of it.

0:55

So gravlax sauce is like a mustard sauce.

0:57

I'm gonna start with two tablespoons of Dijon mustard, one tablespoon of honey mustard, you can just find it in the grocery store, one teaspoon of coarse grain mustard, and then half a teaspoon of dried mustard.

1:10

The dried mustard gives it a little heat, like intensity, which is really good.

1:14

Next is sugar.

1:15

One and a half tablespoons of sugar, two and a half tablespoons of good white wine vinegar, two and a half tablespoons of good olive oil, and then one and a half tablespoons of some kind of neutral oil.

1:26

I'm using grapeseed oil, but you can use canola oil.

1:29

This adds the oil without that much olive oil flavor.

1:33

That's everything.

1:35

I'm just gonna give it a whisk.

1:37

I mean, this is a great sauce, and all it is is, like, a list of ingredients from the pantry.

1:41

Christina and I have known each other for so long.

1:44

We did things together on The Today Show.

1:46

I just love spending time with her.

1:48

Okay, two more things.

1:50

Two tablespoons of chopped dill, minced dill, and a little salt.

1:54

Just mix that all together.

1:57

That's good.

1:57

Just gonna put it in a little pitcher.

1:59

Okay.

2:01

And now I'm gonna build the tartines.

2:03

So first thing is avocado, about a half an avocado.

2:07

Put it right on the toasted bread.

2:10

Slice, slice like that.
