Instructions
- 1
Make the avocado crema: combine the avocados, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, water, and 1/4 tsp sea salt in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and pourable, adding an extra splash of water if needed to loosen. Transfer to a bowl, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, and refrigerate while you prepare the patties.

Place the salmon chunks in a food processor and pulse 8–10 times until the salmon is coarsely chopped — you want a rough, chunky texture with some larger pieces remaining, not a smooth paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
