Ingredients:

Meatball Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 4 six ounce Villa frozen salmon portions, thawed

  • 1 cup bread crumbs

  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 cup chives, chopped

  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp pepper

Cream Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 pieces of thick cut bacon, cut into 1 inch wide pieces

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard

  • juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream

  • 1 tsp maple syrup

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Dice your salmon into 1/2 inch cubes

In a large sauté pan, melt 1 tbsp butter and sauté the garlic and onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Add the diced salmon, bread crumbs, egg, chives, dijon, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Once the garlic and onion are cooked, add those to the large bowl as well and mix to combine. You may want to use your hands at this point to fully combine the mixture.

Once the salmon mixture is fully combined, form into meatballs and place in a silicone cupcake tray for easy cooking. You can also just place these on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Bake on 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes.

While the salmon cooks, add your bacon to the same pan that you cooked your onion and garlic in. Cook on medium and once the bacon is crispy. turn to low heat and add the garlic, dijon mustard and lemon juice and whisk to combine.

On low heat, add the heavy cream and continuously stir so as not to burn the sauce. Add the maple syrup and continue stirring. Continue simmering on low heat and stirring until desired consistency is reached.

Serve the meatballs in the sauce and enjoy!
