Metric
Ingredients
- 4 eggs (ideally free-range)
- 1/4 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbs ghee or coconut oil
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 7 oz smoked salmon (no nitrates or sugar added)
- Micro herbs to garnish
Method
Main Dish
- Break the eggs into a large bowl. Beat until combined. Mix in the almond meal, coconut flour, baking soda and baking powder until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add in a small amount of water.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt one tablespoon of ghee or coconut oil in the pan.
- Place a teaspoon of mixture into the pan. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon. Repeat until the pan contains several blinis. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other side, or until cooked through.
- Remove and set aside. Repeat until all of the mixture has been cooked.
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth.
To Serve
- To make the blini, place a small scoop of avocado on the blini and top with smoked salmon and micro herbs. These are a perfect appetizer and are best served immediately.

What is a good substitute for almond meal? I’m allergic to nuts
Hopefully you can tolerate coconut flour, as that’s not a nut. You would need to use less of it than almond meal as it is more absorbent.
Can the blini part of this recipe be made ahead of time? Or is it best made the day of the party?
You could make it and freeze it, but for the best tasting blini, it is better made fresh.
