Description
Delicious and healthy baked salmon meatballs served with a creamy avocado sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for baking)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet with a little olive oil or nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, fresh parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Form the salmon mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a tablespoon, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 12-15 minutes, until firm and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the avocado sauce by blending together the ripe avocado, sour cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the warm salmon meatballs with a generous drizzle of the tangy avocado sauce. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add some chili flakes to the meatball mixture.
- Adjust the consistency of the avocado sauce by adding more sour cream if desired.
- These meatballs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
