  • Author: Camila
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
– 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup bread crumbs
– 1 egg, lightly beaten
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil
– Optional: green onions or sesame seeds for garnish


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Gingery Salmon Meatballs with a Soy Glaze:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Salmon: In a large bowl, use a fork or your hands to break the salmon into small pieces. Make sure there are no large chunks.
3. Mix Ingredients: Add the minced ginger, minced garlic, bread crumbs, beaten egg, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the salmon. Mix until well combined.
4. Form Meatballs: Use your hands to form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
5. Bake: Place the meatballs in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.
6. Prepare Soy Glaze: While the meatballs are baking, combine an additional tablespoon of soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl to create a glaze.
7. Glaze Meatballs: Once the meatballs are finished baking, remove them from the oven and brush them with the soy glaze. Optionally, return them to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to set the glaze.
8. Garnish: If desired, garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds before serving.

With these simple steps, you will have scrumptious gingery salmon meatballs ready to enjoy!
