  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (to thin, if needed)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, mayo, Dijon mustard, herbs, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Mix until fully combined.

Notes

  • These meatballs are great served over rice, quinoa, or salad greens.
  • You can make the meatballs ahead and reheat in the oven or air fryer.
  • The avocado sauce is best fresh but can be stored in the fridge for 1–2 days in an airtight container.
