Smoked Salmon Patty Balls with Creamy Dip

Jump to Recipe

These Salmon Patty Balls are so easy and a great way to use that left over fish that's sitting in your refrigerator. This quick 15 minute recipe will have you satisfied with a protein packed, cute lil' snack. Topped with a delicious creamy dip, this one is an appetizer go-to!

These are great snacks for a cocktail party, game day, or appetizer to get you held over until entrée is ready.

This was inspired by my Smoked Salmon and Sweetened Purple Sweet Potato recipe, and pairs well with my Cowboy Candy recipe or a nice drink like my Spicy Margarita.
