The salmon balls are a tasty and original dish to enjoy the benefits of this fish rich in Omega-3.
The salmon meatballs are very simple to prepare, it takes just about half an hour in total.
You may have found yourself with a can of salmon in oil in the pantry and today I decided to turn it into polpette.
Normally to make the meatballs soft, soaked stale bread is used, but I opted to use an egg and breadcrumbs because I had nothing else, but they still turned out soft. I would say that a touch of chives goes well too.
I cooked them both in the oven and in the air fryer and they came out perfect, but I think you can also cook them directly in the pan if you prefer.

The salmon meatballs are liked by everyone and are a way to get children to taste fish. What do you say, did I convince you?
All that’s left is to wish you a pleasant day and leave you with the recipe for Thermomix salmon meatballs.

Alternatively, the salmon can be replaced with canned tuna.
