Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillet skin removed
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for grilling
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the salmon until finely chopped but not pureed. Transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Add breadcrumbs, green onions, parsley, egg, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Mix until well combined.
  4. Form the mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  5. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the salmon balls on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown.
  6. While the salmon balls are grilling, prepare the creamy avocado sauce. In a bowl, mash the avocado and mix in Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  7. Serve the grilled salmon balls warm with the creamy avocado sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the salmon mixture for a spicy kick.
  • If you prefer baking, place the salmon balls on a lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
