Baked Salmon Meatballs with Creamy Avocado Sauce

BAKED SALMON MEATBALLS WITH CREAMY AVOCADO SAUCE 🧆🥑

These baked salmon meatballs bring together fresh herbs, tender finely chopped salmon, and a light panko binding to create a moist, flavourful bite that stays delicate while still holding its shape in the oven. The combination of dill, parsley, and lemon juice brightens the mixture, while a touch of Dijon mustard enhances the savoury profile. Baking the meatballs allows them to become lightly golden on the outside without drying out, making them a simple and nutritious option for both weeknight dinners and more elevated meals.

The creamy avocado sauce adds a cool, velvety contrast. By blending ripe avocado with Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, and olive oil, the sauce becomes smooth and rich with a gentle tang. It pairs naturally with salmon and brings balance to the warm, aromatic meatballs. Served together, the dish feels fresh yet satisfying, and it comes together quickly thanks to straightforward preparation and a short baking time.
