Salmon Ball (Spread)

Risë's Note:

Quick & easy appetizer (the cook time is actually the time to allow the mixture to firm in the frig, longer is better).

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 medium

• 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons horseradish (prepared, not cream)
• 1 small onion , minced
• 1 (15 ounce) can salmon , drained
• ¼ cup chopped parsley (I have also done this with finely chopped green onions)
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Mix salmon with cream cheese, lemon juice, horseradish, and onion.
2. Refrigerate until firm.
3. Mix parsley and pecans together.
4. Form salmon mixture into a ball.
5. Roll in pecan-parsley mixture.
6. Serve on a plate with your favorite crackers around it.
7. If you are not fond of horseradish, I would cut it down to 1 teaspoons.
8. (I love the taste of horseradish so I usually add more).

The city I have just moved too is renowned for its Art Deco 'culture' and this weekend has been Art Deco Weekend, lots of activities going on and we decided to pack a 'classy' picnic and join in the festivities, so along with a couple bottles of wine and another 'zaar recipe I made this yummy scrummy Salmon Ball, the horseradish gives it a real 'punch' and there isnt much left! Thanks for posting this, we really enjoyed. =)

Great tasting and unique. I found that I only like it using red salmon though...the pink salmon makes it taste too much like tuna.
