These salmon rice balls are a toddler-friendly, nutritious finger food made with simple ingredients like cooked rice, canned salmon, and seasonings. They’re easy to prepare, perfect for meal prep, and great for little hands to hold and enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked rice (warm)
  • 1 can (5 oz) boneless, skinless salmon (drained)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the warm cooked rice and drained canned salmon.
  2. Add mayonnaise, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and any optional ingredients like cheese or green onions.
  3. Mix everything together until well combined.
  4. Scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls using your hands. Slightly wetting your hands helps prevent sticking.
  5. Serve immediately warm, or store in the fridge for later use.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked warm rice to help bind the mixture better.
  • You can substitute canned salmon with canned tuna or cooked shredded chicken.
  • Wet hands help make rolling easier and cleaner.
  • These can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Reheat in the microwave or a steamer until warmed through before serving.
