Notes
Storage: Store leftover salmon balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat salmon balls, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the salmon balls on a baking sheet and heat for about 10-15 minutes, until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but be aware that this may affect their texture.
Serving: Serve salmon balls warm with a drizzle of the creamy avocado sauce on top. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro and green onions for a fresh finish. They pair well with a side salad or as an appetizer at gatherings.
Chef’s Tip: For added flavor and moisture, consider incorporating spices such as garlic powder or smoked paprika into the salmon mixture. You can also experiment with different herbs, like dill or parsley, to customize the taste to your preference.
