Salmon And Rice Balls Recipes

BAKED SALMON & RICE BALLS

Steps:

• Oil an 11x9 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• Cook the rice according to package directions and set aside to cool.
• Remove the skin from the canned salmon (and the bones if you prefer).
• Put the salmon, cooled rice, carrots, onions and eggs in a large bowl.
• Add salt and pepper and mix everything together with your hands. When I come across a bone I simply crush it between my thumb and forefinger.
• Form mixture into 8 tennis-sized balls, about 3/4 c mixture for each ball.
• Arrange balls in the prepared pan and allow room for them to expand as they cook.
• Mix the soup and water together well and pour over the balls.
• Cover with foil and bake in 350 oven for 1 hour.
• Allow the salmon balls to rest for a few minutes before serving.

SALMON AND AVOCADO RICE BALLS

Steps:

• Place rice and 2 cups of cold water in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes or until rice is just tender. Remove pan from the heat. Set aside, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Add sushi seasoning to rice. Using a fork, gently fold through rice. Spread rice mixture over a large tray lined with baking paper. Set aside for 1 hour or until rice has cooled.
• Mash avocado and lemon juice together in a bowl. Using damp hands, divide rice into 16 equal portions. Place on a large board lined with baking paper. Using fingertips, press each rice portion into a 1cm-thick round.
• Spoon 1 teaspoon of avocado mixture in the centre of each round. Divide carrot, cucumber and salmon between rounds. Fold rice mixture around filling to form a ball. Roll balls in sesame seeds. Place on a large tray. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve with soy sauce.
