Preparation

Step 1 Make the Bruschetta
- In a medium bowl, combine Alaska pollock, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat and set aside while preparing the remaining ingredients.
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado with cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil or butter and toast baguette slices until golden brown on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the Alaska pollock strips for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Spread avocado cream evenly over each toasted baguette slice.
- Top with Alaska pollock, diced tomatoes, and fresh sprouts.
