My sister always made this also....but she used tuna instead of salmon and rolled it in chopped pecans....she too added the liquid smoke. Delicious!!

I also added a couple teaspoons of liquid smoke, and skipped on the fresh parsley. I made a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, dried parsley and a bit of Old Bay seasoning for the coating. Edit: The cheese ball ends up being mostly salmon to the point that you really can't even tell there's any cheese in it...I even used a couple ounces less salmon than what the recipe calls for. I didn't think it had a whole lot of flavor, even with adding the liquid smoke. I would definitely try again with a leftover fillet or 2 of fresh grilled or baked salmon instead of canned.

The BIGGEST hit at a Thanksgiving pot-luck at work, then Thanksgiving dinner, then Post-Thanksgiving dinner, then another party later on (you get the idea!). I noticed a lot of people mentioned smoked salmon. For someone who doesn't have the money for a handled smoker, and canned smoked salmon isn't available in the regular grocery stores and is way too expensive in the fancier, Bumblebee's Atlantic Salmon is a pretty flavorful alternative. The leftover (if there is any) hold up very well in the fridge overnight for a second helping the next day.

Very Good And went fast at a party but was more of a spread and never would form a ball, and I only used 14.oz can of salmon and 40. oz more of cream cheese. I added 1 tsp oliquid smoe and extra green oninons too. VERY VERY GOOD!! But it was a spread.

I have been making this recipe for years and often I add liquid smoke. Kicks it up a notch and is a hit with my family and friends. Use 1 to 2 teaspoons according to your taste.

I really had to doctor this up to keep it from being bland. I was excited to find fresh horseradish but I couldn't taste it. I put in about 2 tablespoons. I also added some garlic powder, dash of liquid smoke, white pepper and worchestersire sauce. I suggest making ahead, it tasted better the second day.

I can remember my grandmother and mother always making a salmon ball (served with wheat thins) at any party we had. I always make this with a vidalia onion for a little sweetness, to go with the salty-ness of the salmon. Also, I roll it in a mixture of fresh chopped parsley and chopped pecans. They give it great color and texture!
