Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to gather for this delightful dish:
- 1 pound of fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions
Here’s how you can bring this recipe to life in your own kitchen:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, flake the salmon using a fork. Add in panko, parsley, egg, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 1.5-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon balls are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the salmon balls are baking, make the avocado sauce. In a blender, combine the avocados, Greek yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Once the salmon balls are done, let them cool slightly before serving with the creamy avocado sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
Remember, cooking is an art, not a science. Feel free to add your own twist based on what you have on hand!
