Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined.
  3. Roll the mixture into 2-tablespoon sized spheres and place them on the baking sheet.
  4. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Blend the avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and minced garlic in a food processor until smooth to make the dip.

Notes
