    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and firm to the touch.​

  • Prepare the Avocado Sauce:

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, ensure the salmon is finely chopped or consider pulsing it briefly in a food processor.​

  • If the meatball mixture feels too wet to shape, add a bit more breadcrumbs to achieve the desired consistency.​

 

  • These meatballs pair well with a side salad, quinoa, or over a bed of zucchini noodles for a complete meal.
