Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 6 ounces Smoked salmon
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Walnuts (finely chopped, optional for coating)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for coating)
Instructions
Place the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and let it come to room temperature for easier mixing.
Flake the smoked salmon into small pieces using your hands or a fork, and add it to the cream cheese.
Add the chopped green onions, fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. You can use a spatula or your hands for easier mixing.
Shape the mixture into a ball using your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before shaping.
If desired, prepare the coating by combining the finely chopped walnuts and parsley in a shallow dish or on a large plate.
Gently roll the salmon ball in the walnut and parsley mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
Wrap the salmon ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the smoked salmon ball chilled with crackers, bread slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.
