Steps:
- Fill a saucepan wide enough to hold salmon with 2 1/2 inches cold water. Stir in 1/4 cup lemon juice, the celery, parsley, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Add salmon, skin side down. Cover, and simmer until salmon is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate, and let cool 20 minutes. Discard poaching liquid. Flake salmon into large pieces.
- Put avocado, wasabi paste, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice into a food processor, and season with salt; puree. Transfer to a small bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing wrap directly onto the surface. Refrigerate until ready to use (up to 30 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut baguette in half crosswise, and trim crust from sides; cut each half lengthwise into three 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange, flat side down, in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in oven until lightly golden, about 7 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Spread each bread slice with about 2 tablespoons avocado-wasabi mixture, and top with salmon and sprouts.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for high-quality salmon fillets, preferably wild-caught and sustainably sourced. Look for firm flesh with a vibrant color.
- Achieving Perfect Salmon: Cook the salmon to flaky perfection. Pan-frying, baking, or grilling are all excellent methods. For pan-frying, sear the salmon skin-side down until crispy. When baking, roast the salmon at a high temperature for a shorter duration to maintain its moistness.
- Avocado Selection: Select ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure. Perfectly ripe avocados will provide a creamy and flavorful spread for your sandwiches.
- Enhance the Bread: Toast the bread to add a delightful crunch and enhance its flavor. You can use a variety of breads, including sourdough, rye, or whole grain.
- Create a Flavorful Spread: Combine mashed avocado with tangy lemon juice, creamy mayonnaise, and a touch of garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble with Care: Layer the toasted bread with the avocado spread, followed by the cooked salmon, and top with fresh arugula or microgreens for a vibrant touch.
Conclusion:
Open-face salmon and avocado sandwiches offer a delightful harmony of flavors and textures. By following these tips, you can elevate your sandwich-making skills and impress your taste buds. Enjoy this culinary creation as a refreshing lunch, a light dinner, or a satisfying snack. Remember to experiment with different bread options and toppings to customize your sandwiches and create your own unique culinary masterpieces.
