As much as we love baked salmon, every now and then we need to shake things up. Enter: Salmon Meatballs. With AVOCADO CREMA. The idea of processing the filets might seem a little weird at first, but we can assure you it's actually quite delish in the end. Try it out!

Ingredients

Avocado Crema

2 tbsp. Parsley
1/4 cup Basil
1/4 cup Sour cream (or yogurt)
2 Juice of limes
1 Avocado

Freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 Egg
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tbsp. Freshly chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. Chili powder
1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
1 pound Salmon filet, skinned, cut into cubes

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray.
02

Make salmon meatballs: In the bowl of a food processor, add salmon. Process until finely chopped, then transfer to a large bowl. Add breadcrumbs, chili powder, parsley, garlic, and egg and season generously with salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then form into tablespoon-sized meatballs. Place onto baking sheet.
03

Bake until meatballs are slightly golden and cooked through, 15-17 minutes.
04

Meanwhile, make avocado crema: In a food processor, add avocado, lime juice, yogurt, basil, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then process until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, thin it out with water.
05

Serve meatballs drizzled with avocado crema and garnish with more parsley.
