Is it just me or do you agree that Meatballs are a Fabulously FUN Food? I think if I were going to have a Food Truck (and you know we’ve all secretly wanted to own a food truck), I’d make it all about the meatballs ~ Mobile Meatballs. The possibilities are endless. This simple dinner of Asian Salmon Meatballs over Cauliflower Fried Rice has got my wheels spinning.
Of course we’d have traditional Italian Meatballs…the kind I dream of…soft and bursting with garlic and herb flavors…bathed in a tomato sauce.
Turkey Meatballs would be delicious served bowl style with mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy.
We would certainly offer Swedish Meatballs in a warm gravy served over egg noodles with a hint of nutmeg smiling through.
My Mobile Meatball Food Truck would offer multiple serving options. You could pile your meatballs of choice on a salad, load them in a pita pocket, stack them on a stick, ladle over hearty grains, or serve them slider style like these Chicken Parmesan Meatball Sliders.
Thanksgiving Dinner Party Meatballs would be a hit all year round. Who doesn’t love the comfort of a holiday meal delivered in tasty bite-sized meatballs?!!
Our signature Turkey Burger Meatballs, oh so moist with a subtle sweet BBQ flavor, would be a featured item.
Our Salisbury Steak Meatballs would be a stick to your ribs favorite for certain.
Let’s not forget Buffalo Chicken Meatballs with hot wing sauce, North African Lamb Meatballs with a cilantro mint sauce, and Maryland Crab Cake Balls with remoulade sauce.
When our Fantasy Food Truck pulls up to the county fair, Spaghetti & Meatballs on a Stick are going to draw a crowd!!
In the cooler months, our meatballs would find their way into big bowls of soup. We’d have Lemon, Tortellini & Meatball Soup.
Italian Bean Soup with Mini-Meatballs would be a lunchtime favorite.
These rice and herb packed meatballs will find their way into steamy bowls of Albóndigas Soup {Mexican Meatball Soup}.
It’s the meatballs after all that completely make Italian Wedding Soup.
And rounding out our offerings would be these amazing Asian Salmon Meatballs with just the right balance of fresh cilantro and ginger served with a sesame soy honey ginger dipping sauce. Now who’s with me on this one?!!

I’m still waiting on your Meatball Food Truck, lol! :D Seriously, I don’t know how I can ever get to making all the recipes of yours that I want to because they are all so fabulous!
I’ve not given up on that dream ;) I’m so glad you’re finding recipes you enjoy and really appreciate your comments Kathryn. Thanks for being here.
Libby, I stumbled on this recipe searching for “Salmon Swedish Meatballs” which were recently served by a caterer at a party. How fortunate am I that this recipe came up in the search. These Asian Salmon Meatballs are out of this world. The only change I made to the recipe is omitting cilantro. I am one of those people that thinks cilantro tastes like soap. I cannot wait to make this again and I am really looking forward to trying your other recipes. You are a ingredients chemist!!
Now that’s a great vote of confidence!! Thank you. Thanks for making them your way and for sharing!!
Looking forward to trying these Asian meatballs – they look delicious! I’m a meatball freak – could eat them for breakfast, lunch & dinner! Thank you for sharing and giving me new inspiration
Thanks so much. Fellow freak here. Hope you enjoy. xo Libby

I used your meatballs as inspiration to make a amazing meatball sub. I only had canned salmon and no red curry paste but I stuck pretty close your recipe. I can’t figure out how share a picture but here’s a link to my Facebook site. https://www.facebook.com/MyWeeklyDish/posts/583736905009228
Thanks for such a great recipe!!
Now that sounds like a fantastic meatball sub Talia. So glad I could be an inspiration. Thanks for sharing. xo Libby
I made these tonight and they were absolutely delicious! We love salmon and we love Asian so this combination was perfect. They was just enough spiciness in the meatball and the sauce – we are wimps when it comes to spicy and I was worried when I saw all the Sriracha. We served them over rice and drizzled sauce over everything. Fantastic. Thanks for another winning recipe Libby.
Donna you just made my night. I read your comment to B and he said what I was thinking “it’s those kind of comments that make it all worth while.” Thank you so much for believing in our recipes enough to share them with your family. xo Libby
can you use canned salmon in a pinch if you dont have filiet and do you have to use cilantro i dont like it.
Hi Lisa, I’m not sure you’ll get quite the same results with canned salmon but I wouldn’t pass up this dish if you can’t find fresh. You can definitely leave out the cilantro or perhaps replace it with parsley if you enjoy that. I hope you get the chance to make these and please share how they turned out. Thank you, Libby
Oh these do sound good, but I want all the other meatball recipes, too. I never ate the spaghetti, just the meatballs, sauce and good bread and butter.
Ellen, I am going to work on posting each of these meatball recipes. Based on the responses we’ve been getting…we love our meatballs!! And I’m with you…I’ll have the Spaghetti and Meatballs, hold the spaghetti :)
My guys love salmon and meatballs, cannot wait to try this!
Thanks Susan. Hope they (and you) enjoy them as much as we did. Libby
These look lovely and sound delicious! I have a bit of an obsession with playing around with meatballs too…glad I am not alone ;)
Aaahhh. Nicole, you are definitely not alone. I could spend weeks, months on meatballs!! What do you say?! Shall we?
