Description

These salmon rice balls are a great way to serve salmon filets in a different way! Everything comes together in one bowl and is formed into easy-to-hold balls for little ones!

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked white rice (sticky, freshly made)
1 large cooked salmon filet (about 1 cup shredded)
½ cup finely chopped onions
½ cup finely chopped bell peppers
2 tbsp butter
salt, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Shred the cooked salmon filets with a fork and set aside.
Step 2: Melt the butter in a pan on medium heat, add chopped onions and peppers, and saute until soft and translucent, then set aside to cool.
Step 3: Add the cooked rice, shredded salmon, and sauteed onions and peppers to a bowl and mix until well combined.
Step 4: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls, pressing firmly with your hands.

Notes

Finely chop the onions and peppers as small as possible to ensure the rice balls hold their shape. Use freshly made sticky rice, such as Jasmine rice, for best results. Salmon can be air-fried for a moist texture.
