1st place in the Seafood Cook Off!

Here in Kodiak, AK we have an annual festival with rides and games and a Sea food cook off , which I decided to enter......and won 1st place!  Woo Hoo!  Anyways that was actually back in May and well, I kinda forgot about it.  Until now, and I want to share my recipe with you.  This is a great appetizer dish that almost everyone enjoys.




Smoked Salmon Flower

1#  Kodiak Island Smokehouse smoked red salmon
1 pkge. cream cheese ( softened)
1 small onion ( minced)
2 cloves pressed garlic
3 Tbs milk
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated) and divided in 2
6 jalapenos sliced
1/2 cup vinegar
2 cups sugar 
2 large apples cut into small pieces 

Break up the salmon and put into a stand up mixer.  Add cream cheese, onion, milk and garlic.  Mix on low until well combined.  Incorporate 1/2 cup of cheese.  Form into a ball and place on a piece of plastic wrap.  Cover with the remaining cheese (like you would a cheese ball) .  Wrap up and refrigerate for one hour. 
*In a sauce bring jalapenos,apples, vinegar and sugar to a boil.  Reduce to  a simmer and let go until it has thickened.  Let cool.

Unwrap the salmon ball and place on plate put jalapeno mixture on top and surround with crackers.
