Salmon, smashed avocado and broad bean bruschetta

Upgrade avocado toast with smoked salmon, peppery radish and broad beans for a vibrant brunch recipe that's ready in just 15 minutes. Mash together summery broad beans and creamy avocado, and add a little kick of chilli, lime and coriander before loading onto toasted rye bread – quick, easy and delicious!

1. Blanch the broad beans in boiling water for 2-3 mins. Drain and refresh under cold water, then squeeze to remove the outer skins (you can leave them on but the beans are more tender if double-podded).
2. Put the beans, avocado, chilli, coriander and most of the lime juice in a bowl. Mash until smooth. Season.
3. Toast the sourdough slices. Dollop the bean mash on top, then add the radishes and salmon. Finish with the remaining lime juice and some black pepper. Serve with watercress.
