Calories: 316 kcal
Ingredients:
¼ cup sweet onion or scallions
small handful of parsley
2 garlic cloves
1 pound uncooked salmon
pinch red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¾ teaspoon smoky paprika
1 egg
squeeze fresh lemon juice
½ cup panko or breadcrumbs
Instructions:
Place onion, parsley, and garlic in a food processor bowl and pulse until minced.
Remove the salmon meat from the skin if it has one, and add it to the bowl of the food processor. Discard skin.
Pulse a few times, then add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until combined.
If you have the time, chill the mixture in a bowl for 30 minutes so the flavors blend and the mixture sets.
Form a small patty and cook it off to taste to adjust the mixture’s seasoning if needed.
Form the mixture into balls, pressing firmly to compact each ball.
Heat enough oil in a large skillet to coat the bottom. Once hot, add the salmon balls without crowding.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Cook time depends on the desired doneness and size of the balls.
Once the salmon balls are golden brown and cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet.
Serve the salmon balls as is, with tartar sauce, a lemon cream sauce, or on a roll banh mi style.
Enjoy this flavorful and easy salmon balls recipe!
