Salmon Balls with Creamy Avocado Sauce: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 44 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
– 1 cup bread crumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 1 egg, beaten
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil for frying


Instructions

Creating these delicious Salmon Balls with Creamy Avocado Sauce is both straightforward and fun! Follow these steps to achieve perfect results:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Begin by finely chopping the salmon fillet into small pieces, ensuring there are no large chunks.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, bread crumbs, beaten egg, green onions, garlic, Dijon mustard, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
3. Form the Balls: Wet your hands and scoop a spoonful of the mixture, rolling it into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all mixture is used.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Ensure that there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan for even frying.
5. Cook the Salmon Balls: Carefully place the salmon balls in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
6. Transfer to a Plate: Once cooked, remove the salmon balls from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
7. Prepare the Creamy Avocado Sauce: In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix it with sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, and a pinch of garlic powder (if using). Add salt and pepper as needed, mixing until smooth.
8. Taste and Adjust: Give the sauce a quick taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Now, your Salmon Balls and Creamy Avocado Sauce are ready for serving!
