Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup cooked salmon (canned or fresh)

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 teaspoon lemon zest

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh dill or parsley for garnish

Optional: Cherry tomatoes, diced, for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon Filling:

    - If using canned salmon, drain and flake it with a fork. If using fresh salmon, cook it by grilling, baking, or pan-searing until cooked through, then flake it.

      Mix the Ingredients:

        - In a medium bowl, combine the flaked salmon, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

          Prep the Avocados:

            - Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Gently scoop out a little of the flesh to create a larger cavity for the salmon filling.

              Stuff the Avocados:

                - Generously spoon the lemon garlic salmon mixture into each avocado half, filling it to the brim. If desired, top with diced cherry tomatoes for an added burst of flavor and color.

                  Garnish and Serve:

                    - Sprinkle fresh dill or parsley over the stuffed avocados for a refreshing touch. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
