My new favorite snack or breakfast dish is these delicious turkey sausage balls! They’re based on a pork sausage ball recipe that’s comparable. They receive a 5-star review from my family and friends.

Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
- ½ medium lemon, juiced
- ½ cup pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Cut salmon into smaller, equal-sized portions if needed. Pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix mayonnaise, garlic, dill, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Season with salt.
- Place the pecans in a food processor. Pulse for 1 second and check the size of the pieces. You want it to be not quite powdery, but still with some larger chunks. Continue to pulse in 1-second bursts until desired consistency is achieved.
- Place the salmon on a baking sheet. Layer the top of the salmon with aioli, then with pecans, until completely covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Baking time will depend on the size of your salmon, so make sure to keep a close eye!

Reviews
I make this recipe about once a month. One revision I have made is that before I put on the aoli and pecans, I slather each side with melted butter and lemon juice. I also do a rough chop of the pecans and sprinkle on top.
This is really good. I did not use the pecans, subbed panko instead. Used a lot more fresh dill because I love it.
