Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
  • 60 ml fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 60 ml fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 120 ml breadcrumbs or almond flour for gluten-free option
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 30 ml olive oil
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 60 ml fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 60 ml Greek yogurt or sour cream for a creamier texture
  • 30 ml lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the salmon fillet or pulse in a food processor until coarsely minced. In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon, parsley, cilantro, breadcrumbs or almond flour, egg, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
  2. Portion the mixture and roll into balls approximately 5 cm in diameter. The batch should yield about 12–14 balls, depending on size.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Arrange salmon balls in a single layer and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, turning until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. Combine avocado, chopped cilantro, Greek yogurt or sour cream, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Arrange salmon balls on a platter and serve with the creamy avocado cilantro sauce either drizzled on top or as a dipping accompaniment. Enjoy immediately, or store refrigerated for later use.
