Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Balls

  • 1 lb fresh skinless salmon fillets
  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Creamy Avocado Sauce

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (included in the sauce preparation)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking of the salmon balls.
  2. Prepare the Salmon: Flake the fresh salmon fillets into small pieces using a fork or your fingers, placing them in a large mixing bowl to evenly combine with other ingredients.
  3. Make the Salmon Mixture: Add the breadcrumbs, egg, chopped fresh dill or parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the flaked salmon. Mix everything together gently until the mixture is well combined and holds together.
  4. Form the Salmon Balls: Shape the mixture into small balls roughly 1 inch in diameter and place them evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon balls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  6. Prepare the Avocado Sauce: While the salmon balls bake, combine the ripe avocado, plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  7. Serve: Remove the salmon balls from the oven and serve them warm alongside the creamy avocado sauce for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

  • Ensure the salmon is fresh and skinless for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute parsley if dill is unavailable or preferred.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • The avocado sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before serving.
  • Adjust lemon juice and seasoning in the sauce according to taste preferences.
