Instructions
- 1
Place about two-thirds of the salmon chunks in a food processor and pulse 6–8 times until coarsely chopped — the texture should be rough and chunky, not a paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Finely chop the remaining salmon by hand into small pieces and add to the bowl.

Add the breadcrumbs, beaten egg, mayonnaise, dill, parsley, scallions, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Fold everything together with a spatula until just combined — do not overmix or the meatballs will be dense.
