Fish meatballs with mayonnaise salsa

 Ingredients: *500 g frozen Alaska pollock fish (hake or other white fish) *4 tablespoons canned peas *1 slice of bread soaked in milk *1 tablespoon flour *1 teaspoon garlic powder *1 small onion *1 egg + 1 yolk * parsley Mayonnaise sauce: *150 g mayonnaise *2 tablespoons mustard *4 tablespoons sour cream * chopped parsley

To prepare a delicious fish meatball recipe, start by boiling the fish in a pot of lukewarm water with a teaspoon of salt. This step is essential to preserve the juiciness and flavors of the fish. Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the water and let it cool completely. When it is cold, use a fork to shred it into fine pieces, ensuring that no bones remain.

In a large bowl, add the shredded fish, a whole egg, and an egg yolk. These will help bind the mixture together and give it a pleasant texture. Continue with the sautéed onion in a little oil, which adds a sweet taste and a specific aroma that will enrich the meatballs. Add the four tablespoons of canned peas, which will bring a touch of freshness and a vibrant color.

Including a tablespoon of flour in the mix is an important step, as it helps stabilize the composition. A slice of bread, soaked in milk and well squeezed, will provide moisture and a fluffy texture to the meatballs. Then add garlic powder, which will enhance the flavor, and freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch of freshness. Don't forget the salt and pepper, which are essential to enhance all the flavors in the mixture.

Shape the meatballs into the right size – you should get about 10 pieces. Coat each meatball in flour, ensuring it is evenly covered. Heat oil in a pan and fry the meatballs until they are golden and crispy on all sides, which will take a few minutes for each side.

In the meantime, you can prepare a delicious salsa to accompany the meatballs. Mix mayonnaise, mustard, sour cream, and chopped parsley. This combination will provide a creamy and flavorful sauce, perfect to serve alongside the warm meatballs.

If you prefer a healthier option, you can opt to bake the meatballs in the oven. Cover them with breadcrumbs and sesame seeds to give them a crispy crust. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and put them in the preheated oven, allowing them to bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and appetizing.

Regardless of the method chosen, fish meatballs are an excellent choice for a tasty and healthy meal, and the sauce will add a touch of refinement to this dish. Enjoy them warm, alongside a fresh salad or mashed potatoes, for a complete culinary experience!
