Ingredients
- 1 14.75 ounce can salmon
- 1 8 ounce block of cream cheese softened
- ¼ teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons onion grated
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons parsley snipped, dried
- ½ cup pecans or walnuts chopped
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix the first six ingredients together. Scrape the mixture into a mound in the middle of the bowl and chill for 3 hours.
- In a separate mixing bowl (preferably metal), mix the parsley and chopped nuts together. Place the bowl in the freezer to chill.
- After 3 hours have passed, remove the salmon mixture from the refrigerator and the nut mixture from the freezer. Using a spatula, carefully scrape the mound of salmon into the nut mixture.
- Using your hand, gently reach under the salmon mound and turn it over, covering it with the nut mixture. Continue to rotate and turn the salmon mixture in the nut mixture until it has formed a ball and is completely covered.
- Leave the smoked salmon cheese ball in the bowl with the nut mixture, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When you are ready to serve the smoked salmon cheese ball, place it carefully on a platter and surround it with crackers.
