The ingredients may vary depending on the recipe or restaurant, but here are some common ingredients used to make baked salmon balls:

Preparation:

Here's a basic outline of how baked salmon balls are prepared:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and herbs until just combined. Be gentle to avoid breaking the fish.

3. If using egg, mix it in gently to help bind the mixture.

4. Use your hands or a spoon to shape the mixture into balls, about 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter. You should end up with around 6-8 balls.

5. Place the salmon balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each ball.

6. Drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle with additional seasonings if desired.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

8. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or a salad.
