Salmon Albóndigas (Albóndigas de salmón)
The mexican Albóndigas are always a favorite; they can be made out of many different ingredients, even fish! This includes also salmon as outlined here. They also are very easy to prepare as we have seen in the many other recipes in this section, so we welcome you to try and make them. The chopped fresh dill spices in this recipe really help bring out the taste of these albondigas; however when frying the salmon balls you have to make sure they remain crispy on the outside while keeping them tender and moist on the inside; personally I doubled up the quantities of this recipe as I have a large family and it was still a big success..
