Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skin removed and chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp water, or as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon: Start by pulsing the fresh salmon fillets in a food processor until they are finely chopped.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix the chopped salmon with breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, green onions, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Shape the balls: Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  4. Cook the salmon balls: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon balls for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Make the avocado sauce: In a blender, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Plate the golden salmon balls and serve them with the creamy avocado sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Ensure the salmon is fresh for the best taste and texture. Don’t skip the resting time for the salmon balls before frying to help them hold their shape.
