# Ingredients:
→ Meatballs Base
01 -
1 pound raw salmon fillet, diced into tiny pieces
02 -
1 large egg, gently whisked
03 -
½ cup flavored breadcrumbs
→ Meatballs Seasonings
04 -
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, minced fine
05 -
1 teaspoon powder from dried garlic
06 -
½ teaspoon sweet red pepper powder
07 -
Ocean salt and cracked black pepper as needed
08 -
1 tablespoon good oil from olives for light coating
→ Creamy Avocado Sauce
09 -
1 large soft avocado
10 -
¼ cup tangy sour cream
11 -
1 tablespoon fresh juice from lemon
12 -
1 small garlic clove, crushed fine
13 -
A pinch of salt and ground pepper to your liking
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven up to 375°F (190°C) and let it warm up. Grab your baking tray and brush it with a bit of oil or spray to stop sticking.
02 -
Toss your chopped salmon in a large bowl with the egg, breadcrumbs, and all the flavors - the parsley, garlic stuff, red pepper powder, and some salt and pepper. Use your fingers to squish it all together until it sticks well.
03 -
With clean hands, grab small chunks and roll them into little round balls - about a spoonful each should do it. Put them on your oiled tray with space between each one.
04 -
Splash a tiny bit of olive oil over the tops and stick them in the hot oven for 12-15 minutes. They're done when they feel firm and reach 145°F (63°C) inside.
05 -
While they're cooking, throw the soft avocado flesh, sour cream, lemon juice, crushed garlic and a bit of salt and pepper in your blender. Zap it till it's smooth and creamy. Taste it and add more flavor if needed.
06 -
Let your salmon balls cool a minute or two, then put them on a plate with plenty of the green sauce. Add some fresh parsley on top and maybe some lemon pieces on the side for extra zing.
# Notes:
01 -
These tasty salmon bites work great at parties or can be your main meal with a side salad.
02 -
You can fix the green sauce up to 2 hours before serving - just press plastic wrap right onto its surface so it doesn't turn brown.
