I love salmon meatballs. I usually use salmon only sparingly because I’m afraid of the mercury in it. However, I love salmon-based recipes, which is why I was so excited when my sister sent me this recipe. It’s easy to make and I love that it uses no heavy cream, butter, or flour. This recipe is a great alternative for people who are on a low-carb diet.
