Make the avocado sauce: mash the avocado in a small bowl until smooth, then stir in the lemon juice, cilantro, water, and salt until combined and pourable. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, almond flour, beaten eggs, green onion tops, parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture holds together when pressed — it should be moist but firm enough to shape into patties.
