What it is
These salmon meatballs are a convenient way to enjoy the flavor of salmon. They are pre-formed and ready to cook, making meal preparation quicker.

To cook these salmon meatballs, you can pan-fry them in a skillet over medium heat until they are browned and heated through. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven at around 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving.
