How to Make Baked Salmon Balls

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Drain 1 (14.75 ounce) can of salmon, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid.
  3. In a large bowl, gently flake the salmon.
  4. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gradually add reserved salmon liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is moist enough to hold its shape.
  7. Gently form the mixture into 25 balls (approximately 1.5 inches in diameter).
  8. Place the salmon balls on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve immediately with tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
