Karelian pie is a classic Finnish dish consisting of a rye crust filled with a salty rice pudding. The dish is typically served with a mashed egg and butter spread, but here the pie has gotten a new modern makeover and is served with smoked salmon, avocado, asparagus and Apetina cheese.

Grill the asparagus shortly on a hot grill or alternatively on a hot frying pan. Cut the Apetina cheese in triangles, and asparagus and avocado into bite size pieces. Toss in olive oil, chives, lemon juice and zest. Serve each plate with slices of smoked salmon, Karelian Pies and finish off with marinated Apetina cheese, asparagus and avocado.
