Instructions
Salmon Poppers
Oven: preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray cookie sheet with oil.
Stove-top and grill: cook on medium heat.
Spead poppers over tin foil (open or encased in foil).
Place the salmon in food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Transfer to a large bowl.
Add onion, topping, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne. Pulse again until blended.
Using a 1 tablespoon portion of the salmon mixture, form meatballs in the palms of your hands, or use a small scoop.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet or pan; don't overcrowd the sheet or pan.
Bake until the meatballs are firm to the touch and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Cook on top of stove and grill for 3-4 minutes each side or until firm.
Taste to test for doneness. If opaque verses salmon being translucent and shiny, they are done.
Serve the meatballs with the avocado sauce.
Avocado Sauce
In food processor or blender, combine the avocado, yogurt, garlic, lime juice, water, cilantro, chipotle powder, salt and pepper.
Blend until smooth.
Notes
I substituted panko for a fun topping, called, Nuts Over Fish. It's gluten-free and works great as a binder.
An egg is not necessary in most cases if you have a filler like panko or Nuts Over Fish.
You can cook your poppers to a moist texture by covering with a lid.
It also cooks them faster as this is more of a steamed method of cooking.
