Ingredients

• 14 oz canned salmon
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 0 as needed olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones if present. Add the salmon to a large mixing bowl, flaking it apart with a fork.

Step 3

Add breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the salmon mixture and stir well until everything is fully combined.

Step 6

Using clean hands, take approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used, yielding about 15-18 salmon balls.

Step 7

Place the salmon balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 8

Lightly spray the salmon balls with olive oil to help them brown during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, or alongside a fresh green salad.
