Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the fish fillets until finely minced. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon zest to the bowl with the fish. Season with salt and black pepper.
With clean hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be sticky, allowing it to hold shape when formed into balls.
With damp hands, shape the fish mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs to coat them lightly.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and slightly golden on top.
Remove the fish meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and paired with your choice of dipping sauce or a side of your choice.
