Salmon Balls

Salmon Balls

Makes 30
Cooking time 15 minutes

I have a bit of an obsession with canapes and finger food, so don't be surprised to see some of my favourites appear in the following blogs. I used to spend hours preparing these dainty little edibles, only to have them consumed within 5 minutes of me serving them, so I now prefer to make something that doesn't require 20 different ingredients, 10 pots and hours of preparation.






Ingredients

500 gm salmon fillet
200 gm smoked salmon
6 spring onions finely chopped
2 tbs chopped parsley
1 3/4 cup sour dough bread crumbs
3 tbs mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Finely chop the salmon fillet and the smoked salmon, transfer to a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix well season with salt and pepper. Shape into balls about the size of a walnut. Heat a fry pan with 2 tbs of oil and fry in batches for 2 minutes, transfer to an oven tray ans cook in a moderate oven for 7 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with some lemon wedges.

These freeze really well, defrost in the fridge overnight and gently reheat for 3 minutes
