Instructions
- 1
Make the avocado crema: combine the avocados, lime juice, dill, and salt in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the crema is thick but pourable and coats the back of a spoon. Transfer to a bowl, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, and refrigerate while you prepare the patties.

Pulse the salmon chunks in the food processor 8–10 times until roughly chopped — the mixture should be coarsely ground with some visible texture, not a smooth paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
