Ingredients
- 300g fresh salmon fillets
- 200g fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Salmon and Shrimp
Start by cutting the fresh salmon fillets into small cubes and placing them in the Thermomix mixing bowl. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp as well. Set the Thermomix to Speed 5 for 10 seconds or until the salmon and shrimp are finely chopped and well combined.
Step 2: Add the Aromatics
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, cornstarch, breadcrumbs, fresh cilantro, and green onions to the mixing bowl with the salmon and shrimp mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set the Thermomix to Speed 4 for 20 seconds or until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3: Shape the Meatballs
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 4: Cook the Meatballs
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove the cooked meatballs from the skillet and set them aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Prepare the Creamy Oriental Sauce
In the same skillet, add the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer over low heat. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to thicken slightly. Add any remaining sauce ingredients such as soy sauce or fish sauce for extra flavor, if desired. Stir well to combine.
Step 6: Combine and Serve
Add the cooked meatballs to the skillet with the creamy oriental sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors and cook through. Make sure to coat the meatballs evenly with the sauce.
Serve the Salmon and Shrimp Meatballs in Creamy Oriental Sauce hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and green onions. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or noodles, allowing you to fully enjoy the delectable flavors of the orient.
