Baked Salmon Meatballs with Creamy Avocado Sauce

Ingredients:

For the Salmon Meatballs:

1 lb fresh salmon, skin removed and finely chopped

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg, beaten

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp lemon zest

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Creamy Avocado Sauce:

1 ripe avocado

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

2 tbsp lime juice

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

2-3 tbsp water to thin, as needed

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Form into 1.5-inch meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake meatballs for 15-18 minutes, until golden and cooked through.

Drizzle avocado sauce over warm salmon meatballs or serve on the side.
