Salmon Stuffed Avocados
You can use canned salmon for this recipe but I prefer using fresh salmon grilled in the oven and letting it cool. But if you can’t, no worries canned salmon combined with avocados makes and easy no-cook meal. Enjoy!

SO happy you love it, Kathie! WOW so cool love it, thank you for sharing
Love your avocado salmon recipe. I’ve been lucky to have enjoyed avocados since childhood. Our 1928 house was built in what had been an avocado grove. Favorite snack was avocado on warm whole wheat bread with a little salt. Still a treat for me!!!
