Directions
- Prepare the Oven & Meatballs
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Mix the Meatball Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, dill, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix gently until just combined — overmixing can make the meatballs dense. - Shape the Meatballs
Scoop the mixture and form small meatballs about 1–1.5 inches (2.5–4 cm) in diameter. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. - Bake the Meatballs
Bake for 15–18 minutes, until firm and cooked through. They should be lightly golden on the outside while remaining tender inside. - Prepare the Avocado Sauce
While the meatballs are baking, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed. - Serve
Plate the baked salmon meatballs and drizzle with the creamy avocado sauce. Garnish with additional dill or parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
