Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Smoked salmon
- 200 grams Ricotta cheese
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 50 grams Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Finely chop the smoked salmon, fresh dill, and chives. Set aside a small portion of the dill and chives for garnish or coating.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, chopped smoked salmon, lemon zest, the majority of the dill and chives, black pepper, and capers (drained and finely chopped). Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to handle.
While the mixture chills, toast the panko breadcrumbs in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the mixture is firm, scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into bite-sized balls using your hands.
Roll each ball in the toasted panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. Optionally, roll in the reserved minced dill and chives for added flavor and color.
Place the finished truffles on a serving platter or tray. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving.
