Ingredients
- ⅓ cup mashed, cooked sweetpotato*
- 1 ¼ cups cooked rice any type of rice
- 1/2 cup canned salmon
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 avocado, sliced, for topping or serving
Instructions
- Microwave your sweetpotato for 5-6 minutes, until soft. Scoop out flesh and set skin aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix mashed sweetpotato, cooked rice, canned salmon, and garlic powder together. I like using my hands to do so, or using gloves.
- Using a cookie scooper, scoop out “meatball size” from mixture and place on a flat service or clean piece of parchment paper (I got about 12 meatballs).
- Enjoy! Serve with soy sauce, avocado, etc.
Notes
If you want your salmon meatballs crispier or browned, you can broil for a few minutes before enjoying.
