Kyle’s Kitchen- Salmon Balls

Salmon Balls

This month Kyle racked his brain trying to remember something that he ALWAYS had around the holidays.  His mom came to the rescue with the recipe for his late grandfather’s favorite appetizer, lovingly called “salmon balls”.  It’s a smoked salmon dip formed into a large bowl to make it round, and Papa made it every single year without fail until he passed.   It still brings him warm memories, and you can bet salmon balls will be on Kyle’s table this year.  We hope it brings warmth to your Holiday table as well.

Salmon Balls

Ingredients:

1- 16oz can salmon (drained and skin removed)

1- 8 oz cream cheese softened

1- teaspoon of lemon juice

1- teaspoon of salt

2- teaspoons of grated onion

1- teaspoon of horseradish

1- teaspoon liquid smoke

Ingredients:

  • Line a bowl with plastic wrap, enough to fold over the excess to pat down salmon mixture
  • Mix all ingredients well and form into bowl lined with plastic wrap. Fold wrap over and push down to form a ball.
  • Chill for a minimum of 1 hour to set. Remove from bowl, set flat side down on serving plate and pull wrap off slowly.
  • Serve with crackers or veggies or both.
