Dill And Mustard Salmon Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs skinned salmon fillets
1 egg
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh is best)
salt and pepper
cooking spray

Preparation

Rinse the salmon and pat dry with paper towels. Cut in 1-inch pieces and place on a sheet of plastic wrap. Put in the freezer for 20-30 minutes, until firm but not frozen solid.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl whisk the egg, 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons of the mustard. Add the breadcrumbs and 3 tablespoons of the dill and mix well.
Chop the semi-frozen salmon in a food processor, pulsing until chopped but not pureed. Add the salmon to the bowl, add salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
Make mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on the prepared pan. Spray the tops of the balls with cooking spray.
Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes. While the salmon balls are baking, mix the remaining mayonnaise, mustard, and dill with the sour cream and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk well.
Serve the salmon balls with the dipping sauce.
