Curried Salmon Meatballs with Coconut Sauce
This tasty seafood recipe for Curried Salmon Meatballs in Coconut Sauce was created by the Chef of The Narrows Restaurant at the Shore Lodge & Spa in McCall, Idaho, for its first ever April 2014 Shore Lodge Culinary Festival. The three-day event celebrated all things epicurean and saw acclaimed chefs competing in a Chopped-style “Culinary King of the Mountain” competition. This recipe is one of the best results. While Chef made it with chopped salmon which he ground into meatballs, you can easily use canned salmon, or, ask your butcher to grind your fish for you.
