Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh salmon, cooked and flaked
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 avocado
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, combine flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, chopped parsley, lemon juice, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined.

- Prepare the avocado sauce by blending avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Serve salmon balls warm with the avocado sauce on the side.
Notes
Chill the mixture briefly to help the balls hold their shape while baking. For a spicier variation, add sriracha to the mixture.
