Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine finely chopped fresh salmon, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Shape about two tablespoons of the mixture into meatballs roughly the size of a golf ball and arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until light golden brown and firm to the touch.
  5. In a blender, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth, adding water if necessary to reach desired creamy consistency.
  6. Serve the warm meatballs with the creamy avocado sauce for dipping.
