Step 1: Prepare the Salmon Mixture
Start by finely chopping the salmon fillet or pulse it in a food processor until coarsely minced. In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced salmon, chopped parsley, cilantro, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2: Shape the Salmon Balls
Once your mixture is ready, take small portions and roll them into balls, approximately 2 inches in diameter. You should have about 12-14 balls depending on size.
Step 3: Grill the Salmon Balls
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the salmon balls in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, remove the salmon balls from the pan and set them aside.
Step 4: Prepare the Creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce
For the creamy avocado sauce, combine the avocado, fresh cilantro, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to balance the flavor.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
