Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.( you can bake or fry these Salmon meatballs; your choice, but I love the fried one better)
- Place shredded leftover salmon in a medium-sized bowl. Add in carrots, garlic, parsley, cilantro panko bread/cornstarch, and mix. Add in beaten egg and continue mixing until completely incorporated. Add salt and pepper, depending on your liking. Form salmon into a ball.
- Heat oil in a medium size frying pan and brown all sides of the Salmon Meatballs. ( Stop here if you are frying ) Cover the cookie sheet with tin foil and grease with nonstick oil. Arrange salmon meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 15-30 minutes or until the salmon is set. Serve salmon meatballs with ketchup or any sauce that you like. My clan like non-fat dressing. Enjoy!
