Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Meatballs:
  • 1 lb fresh salmon skin removed and finely chopped
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs panko or regular
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
For the Avocado Sauce:
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup water adjust for desired consistency

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well until evenly combined.
  3. Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 ½ inches in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the meatballs are firm and lightly golden.
  5. Prepare the Avocado Sauce: While the meatballs bake, blend avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, and water in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Adjust water for consistency.
  6. Serve: Drizzle or dip the baked salmon meatballs with the avocado sauce and enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Swap breadcrumbs for almond flour to make the meatballs gluten-free.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
  • Serve with a side of quinoa, salad, or roasted vegetables for a full meal.
