  • Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. If necessary, slightly scoop out some of the flesh to create a larger cavity for the filling.
    2 avocado
  • Spoon the salmon mixture evenly into each avocado half, mounding it slightly.
  • Sprinkle with chopped chives or dill if desired. Serve immediately.

Cooking Tips

  • Use Fresh Salmon: For a fresher taste, substitute canned salmon with freshly cooked and flaked salmon.
  • Customizable Fillings: Add diced red onion or capers for an extra flavour boost.
  • Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the salmon mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble the stuffed avocados just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Alternative Presentation: Serve the salmon mixture on avocado toast or as a dip with veggie sticks for a twist.
