Sardine Salad Toast with Tomato and Skyr

Creamy mashed sardines with skyr and Dijon are folded with juicy diced tomato, then piled onto crisp whole wheat toast. Removing most of the tomato seeds keeps the topping fresh without making the bread soggy.

Recipe insights

How to keep sardine toast from getting soggy

Removing most of the tomato seeds and watery pulp limits the liquid that reaches the toast. Assemble only when the bread is crisp and ready to serve.

Why skyr works in sardine salad

Plain skyr binds the mashed sardines into a creamy spread without masking their texture. Dijon mustard adds enough sharpness to balance the fish and tomato. It gives a tuna salad vibe, without the tuna and the mayonnaise so not really a tuna salad but you get what I mean...

Can you make the sardine salad ahead?

The sardine mixture can be prepared ahead and kept refrigerated in a covered container for up to one day. Toast the bread and assemble just before eating so it stays crisp.
