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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse the fish fillets until finely minced. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
With clean hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be sticky, allowing it to hold shape when formed into balls.
Step 5
With damp hands, shape the fish mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs to coat them lightly.
Step 7
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and slightly golden on top.
Step 8
Remove the fish meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and paired with your choice of dipping sauce or a side of your choice.
