Servings: persons

1 lb boneless skinless salmon fillet
1 medium egg
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon diced pickled ginger
1 teaspoon wasabi powder
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce or 1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons black sesame seeds, toasted
3 tablespoons white sesame seeds, toasted

1
Preheat the oven to 425u00b0F, and line a large baking pan with nonstick parchment paper.
2
Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes and place in the freezer for 20 minutes. Once chilled, pulse in a food processor. Don't overprocess-you want to retain some pieces of fish for texture.
3
Beat the egg in a large mixing bowl. Add the scallions, pickled ginger, wasabi powder, cilantro, lemon juice, soy sauce, breadcrumbs, salt and a sprinkling of pepper.
4
To test the meatball's flavor heat a small skillet over high heat. Break off a small amount of the mixture, flatten between your fingers and fry until cooked. Taste to check the seasoning and add more lemon, ginger or wasabi powder if necessary.
5
Mix the two types of sesame seeds together and spread them out on a plate. Form the salmon mixture into 12-16 balls, each about 2 inches in diameter, packing each one firmly. Roll the balls in the sesame seed mixture and place them on the prepared baking pan.
6
Bake on preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through. Careful not to overcook.
