Delicious Salmon Meatballs with Avocado Sauce (Healthy & Satisfying)

These Salmon Meatballs with Creamy Avocado Sauce are a game-changer for anyone looking for a fresh, healthy, and protein-rich dinner option.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb skinless salmon fillet, cut into chunks
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil spray, for baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
  2. Add the salmon pieces to a food processor. Pulse a few times until finely chopped, but not pureed. You want small bits for texture.
  3. Transfer the chopped salmon to a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, panko, Parmesan, green onion, garlic, parsley, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  4. Mix everything well, but gently, until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1½ inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon, not canned, for the best texture and flavor. Frozen fillets can be used if thawed completely and patted dry.
  • Don’t over-process the salmon—keep some texture for a better bite.
  • Chill the mixture for 10 minutes before forming if it’s too soft.
