Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14.75 oz) canned salmon
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup pecans
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 package crackers or vegetables (for serving)
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon and remove any skin and bones. Use a fork to flake the salmon into small pieces in a large mixing bowl.
Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for easier mixing.
Finely chop the green onions and set aside.
In the mixing bowl with the salmon, add the softened cream cheese, green onions, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
Roughly chop the pecans and place them on a plate or shallow dish.
Using your hands, form the salmon mixture into a ball shape. Roll the ball gently in the chopped pecans to coat the outside.
Place the salmon ball on a serving plate. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for extra color and flavor.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and for the ball to firm up.
Serve with your favorite crackers or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
