Print Recipe

Salmon Meatballs with Herbed Green Sauce are flavorful, protein-packed bites made with fresh salmon, herbs, and breadcrumbs, served with a zesty, creamy green sauce — perfect as a main dish or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh salmon, skin removed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • For the Herbed Green Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil or cilantro
  • 1 green onion
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, dill, parsley, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon meatballs and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the herbed green sauce by blending all sauce ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Serve salmon meatballs warm with a generous drizzle of the green sauce. Garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Make the meatballs smaller for a party appetizer or larger for a main course.
  • Use canned salmon if fresh isn’t available — just drain well and remove any bones.
  • Chill the meatballs for 15 minutes before cooking for better shape retention.
  • The green sauce also pairs well with grilled veggies or roasted potatoes.
