- Cut avocados in half lengthwise, and remove the stone. Scoop out the flesh, ensuring that the skins remain intact, and mash in a bowl with lemon juice, plenty of black pepper and the chopped chives.
- Slice the smoked salmon into thin ribbons and add to the avocado and lemon juice mixture.
- Fill each of the six halved avocado skins with the avocado and smoked salmon mixture. Re-assemble the avocados, putting the 2 halves back together, and wrap each avocado in cling film and chill in the fridge.
- To serve, separate the 3 avocados into halves and serve with sourdough toast.
