# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
03 - Using damp hands, form the mixture into 16 golf ball-sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Brush or spray the tops lightly with olive oil.
05 - Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and lightly golden.
06 - In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed for a creamy, dippable consistency.
07 - Serve the warm salmon meatballs with avocado sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These meatballs transform ordinary salmon into something extraordinary and approachable
- The avocado sauce adds such a luxurious creaminess you wont believe how healthy it is
02 -
- Overmixing the salmon mixture makes tough meatballs, so fold everything together gently and stop as soon as it's combined
- The meatballs continue cooking slightly when they come out of the oven, so dont worry if they seem just a tiny bit underdone at 18 minutes
03 -
- Chill the meatball mixture for 15 minutes before shaping if it feels too sticky to work with
- Room temperature salmon blends more evenly, so take it out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you start cooking
