Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the right ingredients is half the battle won. Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful dish:

  • 1 pound of fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Feel free to substitute ingredients based on what you have at hand. No fresh salmon? Canned salmon works too! This recipe is all about flexibility and making do with what’s in your pantry.

Instructions

Now, let’s get to the fun part—cooking! Follow these steps to create your own salmon balls:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Chop the salmon finely or pulse it a few times in a food processor until it’s coarsely ground.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, parsley, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  4. Mix everything until just combined—don’t overwork it, or your salmon balls will be tough.
  5. Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon balls are firm and lightly golden.
  7. While the salmon balls are baking, prepare the avocado sauce by mashing the avocado in a bowl with a fork.
  8. Add the sour cream, lime juice, and minced garlic to the avocado, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  9. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
  10. Once the salmon balls are done, serve them warm with the avocado sauce on the side.

Remember, cooking is an art, not a science. Feel free to adjust the seasonings and ingredients to suit your family’s tastes.
