Ingredients
Salmon Rice Muffins
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 3/4 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked salmon (5 ounces)
- 1 Tablespoon onion flakes
- 1 Tablespoon parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 2 Tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes
Lemon Butter Sauce
- Butter
- Lemon juice
- Other ingredients not specified but assumed lemon butter sauce ingredients (such as additional lemon juice and butter)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the muffins.
- Prepare salmon mixture: In a medium bowl, flake the cooked salmon into small pieces. Add cooked rice, feta cheese, onion flakes, parsley flakes, dried dill, seasoning salt, beaten eggs, milk, melted butter, lemon juice, additional seasoning salt, and parsley flakes. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Fill muffin cups: Grease 6 muffin cups and divide the salmon and rice mixture evenly among them, about 1/2 cup per muffin tin.
- Bake muffins: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown. For a crispier top, finish them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Prepare lemon butter sauce: While baking, in a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the lemon butter sauce—melted butter and lemon juice—mix well to create a tangy topping.
- Serve: Once muffins are baked, remove from oven and top each muffin with a generous spoonful of lemon butter sauce. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use cooked salmon for best texture—leftover baked or poached salmon works well.
- Feta cheese adds a creamy, tangy flavor; substitute with goat cheese if preferred.
- Seasoning salt can be adjusted or replaced with regular salt and pepper according to taste.
- For extra crunch, broil the muffins briefly after baking.
- These muffins can be served as appetizers, lunch, or a light dinner.
