Salmon Meatball Recipe
Am I a huge salmon fan? Nope, but I’ve had it a few times recently and I’ll eat it. I’ll eat it, but it’s not my favorite. But as my theory goes, put it on a stick or turn it into a meatball and it’ll taste a whole lot better!
My son’s favorite way to eat salmon is teriyaki salmon, actually he said the best way he’s ever had it was at The Captain’s Grill at Saratoga Springs in Disney World. Everything tastes better at DIsney though right?
But I was thinking more of a lemon flavor with these salmon meatballs – maybe even get them all glazed up with some honey too. And then throw in some artichokes. Yep, Artichokes. Why artichokes? Because I love ’em. Especially these marinated artichokes we get from Trader Joe’s – we get a few jars and stock up every time we go.
How To Make Salmon Meatballs
You could make these salmon meatballs with canned salmon, but they are so much better with fresh fish, it’s really worth buying fresh.
Cube up the salmon and get it into a food processor to start.
Blend until the salmon has a coarse chop, then add the marinated artichokes that you have also roughly chopped first.
Pour the salmon mixture out into a bowl and stir it together with the rest of the ingredients – then scoop out your meatballs and bake.
While the meatballs are baking you can make the honey lemon glaze, just a few ingredients…heat it up and reduce it down so it thickens and then pour it all over the salmon meatballs.
You’re definitely going to win the crowd over with these salmon meatballs!
