Veggie Noodles with Salmon Meatballs

Believe it or not, I haven’t whipped out the Spiralizer in a good minute.

Well, let’s be real here… I haven’t been cooking very much. I have been so busy that I tried to drink a candle… yes, I grabbed the candle thinking it was my water, put it up to my lips, and said out loud “oh, this is a candle”. That kind of busy.

Unfortunately, I’m not very good at drumming up energy to cook when I’m busy, tired, lazy, what have you. I’m working on it. What you don’t see is the scrambled eggs or pile of leftovers that I eat for dinner on busy days. One tactic I’ve successfully carried out is to just buy something that I know will go bad if I don’t use it. Cue salmon.

I bought two salmon fillets on Sunday with the purpose of making myself cook this week. Well, it worked. However, I’m getting pretty tired of my usual baked salmon fillets. So, I figured, why not make them into meatballs? I have always loved sweet potato fries as a side dish to my salmon, so I figured sweet potato noodles were the perfect carb. Add another veggie and a yummy sauce, and call it a day.

This recipe was super easy, and a great, healthier play on one of my favorite dishes: spaghetti and meatballs. Whole, fresh ingredients combine to create a mouthwatering, nutrient-rich meal.

    salmon meatballs? Holy yum! I get sick of plain old salmon too, and this looks like a delicious way to mix it up. And the sweet potato noodles sound amazing too!

    I’m happy to say I’ve never almost drank a candle, but I know what you mean about being so busy you don’t feel like cooking, lol. The sauce for this dish sounds SO good! Happy weekend!
