Ingredients
  • MEATBALLS
  • 2 (213g or 7.50 oz) cans of Wild Alaskan salmon
  • 1 large carrot, finely grated
  • 1 medium zucchini, finely grated - squeeze out the moisture with your hands
  • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • pinch of cayenne pepper (if you like your meatballs spicy, add more)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely minced
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (optional garnish)
  • Sprinkle of chopped peanuts (optional garnish)
  • SPICY ORANGE SAUCE
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • a big pinch of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Combine all the ingredients for the meatballs in a medium bowl. Using clean hands, stir until well combined. Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, pack meatball mixture tightly and roll into balls with your hands. Place the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 22-25 minutes.
  3. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small pot and bring to a slow boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring often. The sauce will thicken up nicely.
  4. When meatballs are finished baking, coat with sauce, garnish with green onions and chopped peanuts if desired. I served mine with veggies and brown rice.
