Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup cooked salmon, flaked (you can use canned or freshly cooked salmon)

2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)

1 clove garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving

Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon with the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Add the fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, and chopped capers. Mix everything together thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.

    Prepare the Avocados: Carefully slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. With a spoon, gently scoop out a small amount of the flesh from the center of each half to create a bit more space for the salmon mixture. Be cautious not to break the skin of the avocado.

      Stuff the Avocados: Using a spoon, generously fill the hollowed-out avocado halves with the lemon garlic salmon mixture. Make sure each half is filled to the brim for a satisfying presentation.

        Garnish: Place the stuffed avocados on a serving plate. For an appealing touch, add lemon wedges and sprigs of fresh dill around the avocados.

          Serve: Enjoy these delicious and nutritious stuffed avocados immediately as a refreshing meal or appetizer, perfect for warm days!
