Alaskan Salmon Nuggets

This recipe was placed in a little church cookbook, Incredible Edibles, complied by - First Baptist Church Seaside, Oregon, by a friend of mine in 1981, yikes! 

It is a delicious and easy recipe it also is a sought after one if you've tried them.  Here's the recipe and I'll make some soon and post a photo.  Enjoy ~

Listed as an appetizer but can be part of you dinner with salad etc.

Alaskan Salmon Nuggets (Alaska Extension Service Recipe)

1 lb. canned salmon or 1 lb. baked salmon

1/2 cup mashed potatoes

1 Tbsp. finely minced celery

1 Tbsp. grated onion

1 Tbsp. butter, melted

1/4 tsp. salt

Dash pepper

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 egg, beaten

1/4 lb. sharp cheese, cut in 3/8 inch cubes

1 cup bread crumbs

oil for frying

Mix thoroughly all ingredients except bread crumbs and cheese; shape into walnut size balls. Cut cheese into 3/8 inch cubes and insert cube into the center of each salmon ball and reshape. Roll in bread crumbs. 

Fry in deep fat (or oil), 375 degrees, 3-4 minutes or until brown - not burnt. Garnish and serve hot, plain or with a sauce.  Some might use Mushroom soup to make a sauce. A Chipotle Aioli sauce might be nice or something with less heat a regular Aioli or maybe with infused lemon or lime. humm just a thought. Serves 6.

I am happy I have this little cookbook of loved recipes but it doesn't compare to the friendship I've had over the years - long lasting from Seaside, Oregon. If you are seeing this from Seaside or looking as a friend hugs and kisses everyone!
