Salmon Surprise Balls

"Bite into these crisp balls and enter into a gooey center. The Optional sauce is very good but you can use you favorite tarter sauce or squeeze lemon over the balls to keep it lower fat. Salmon, scallions, rosemary, pimientos, cranberries, mozzarella are the required ingredients for this RSC #14."

  1. This recipe was made for the Hidden Gems Event following the RSC#14 contest. Not only did this recipe turn out to be 5 stars and a Gem, but another of ~Rita~s recipes was also a 5 star Gem as well. Being single I only used three-quarters of a lb of Salmon so the finished dish had 8 patties (did not make round fish balls). I also added some Sun-Dried Tomatoes as well, instead of Cranberries (and less Pimentos). I cooked the patties in a Teflon pan, so used less oil and they came out crispy (not burned, over-cooked). I did see a little of the cheese bubbling out, however, when the patties were finished and put on a plate the inside became harder (not gooey as described). Further, I also decided to make the Optional Sauce which turned out to be very good. I again added some Sun Dried-Tomatoes (less Pimentos) and Capers instead of Pickled relish. The sauce was very good! Ok, here is the bonus treat a second Gem recipe from ~Rita~(not part of the RSC Contest); Broccoli With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Roasted Garlic Recipe #358168 To continue, on a big serving plate I put the Broccoli around the outside rim, then the patties in the center and then some Sauce on top of each. Both these recipes are 5 stars for a grand total of 10 stars. Thanks for creating and posting these recipes, they were both delicious!
