• Drain/de-bone salmon. Transfer to a large bowl. Add onion, parsley, lemon, butter, salt, pepper and sage. Add eggs and milk, mix and mash together well. Stir in crumbs.
• Remove the cream cheese pastry dough from the refrigerator and roll into 12 balls. Place each ball into an ungreased muffin cup (standard size) and press along bottom and up sides to form nice little shells (this takes a little patience, but the first time i did it the recipe never mentioned chilling the dough and it took FOREVER!).
