Salmon Fish Balls Appetizer Recipe – Made From Scratch!

This is a made from scratch fish balls appetizer recipe. One of the best things about making your own party and finger foods at home is you know what is in them. That way you don’t have to eat or serve something that is loaded with all the extra fillers and additives.

While these are made using salmon I think you could also use other types of fish such as mackerel if you wanted. Not only will this recipe show you how to make these salmon fish balls appetizer, it also includes a recipe for a lime mayo dipping sauce.

If you don’t want to be making these right before the game, party or get together, you could make them up ahead of time. Serve them cold or reheat in the microwave.

This recipe uses wheat bread crumbs, but if you or your guests are gluten-free, swap them out with gluten-free bread crumbs.
