Salmon Meatballs?

Hey everyone! This week for my Personal PIGskin Challenge I decided to make Salmon Meatballs. Now, I'm always honest with you... This is very good, but there's no way they can be made into meatballs! Salmon Cakes for dinner-yes-yum, but it's too soft and squishy for meatballs.
I made the small 2.6oz pouch of salmon, so I'm going to give you the measurements for that small amount. It would serve one, maybe two people with smaller appetites and a few side dishes.

Salmon Meatballs Cakes
2.6oz envelope salmon
1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1 heaping Tblsp dried breadcrumbs
1 Tblsp mayonnaise
2 tsp onion, finely diced
2 tsp bell pepper (red and/or green), finely diced
A little black pepper
1/8 C breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
Olive oil
Tarter Sauce (recipe follows)
  1. Mix the first 7 ingredients breaking up the salmon.
  2. Mix the 1/8 C breadcrumbs and 1/4 tsp Old Bay in a separate bowl. 
  3. Shape 2-3 salmon patties about 3/4" thick, coat entirely in breadcrumbs.
  4. Cover the bottom of an 8" skillet in olive oil (about 1/4" deep) and heat to medium.
  5. Fry the patties until golden brown on each side.
  6. Set on paper towel to drain.
  7. Serve with Tarter Sauce.
