Salmon Meatball Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillets skin removed
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs for binding
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese adds flavor
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped for freshness
- 1 clove garlic, minced for flavor
- 1 large egg acts as a binder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard adds tanginess
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice for brightness
- 1/2 teaspoon salt for seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper adds spice
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika for smoky flavor
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for crispiness
Prepare the salmon by removing the skin and cutting it into smaller pieces. Pulse in a food processor until finely chopped.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, egg, mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
