Salmon-Stuffed Avocados

Salmon-stuffed avocados are a delicious and nutritious dish that combines creamy avocado with tender, flavorful salmon. The rich, buttery texture of the avocado perfectly complements the savory, protein-packed salmon, creating a satisfying, balanced meal. This dish is not only high in healthy fats and omega-3s, but also provides a good dose of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. It’s a great option for anyone looking for a low-carb, heart-healthy meal that’s both filling and refreshing.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • ⅓ cup diced celery 
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 cans salmon (5 oz), drained, flaked, skin and bones removed*
  • 2 avocados, pitted and cut in half lengthwise

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized bowl, add the yogurt, celery, pecans, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, salt, pepper, and salmon. Mixed until well combined.
  2. Divide the salmon mixture between the four avocado halves. Spoon the mixture onto the top of the avocado.
  3. Top with additional parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

*We suggest using salmon canned in water, not oil. Fish contains many wonderful nutrients, many of which are fat-soluble (like Vitamins A and D). If you use salmon canned in oil, you’ll lose many of those nutrients when you drain the can!
