This Spicy Salmon Cheese Ball Makes the Perfect Party Appetizer

Combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, onion, horseradish, dill, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Use a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer until the mixture is well-blended. Drain and flake salmon, removing skin and bone. Add it to the cream cheese mixture and beat at low speed until it's incorporated. Be careful not to overmix and shred the fish into unrecognizable pieces. Put the bowl in the refrigerator and chill until the mixture is firm enough to handle. If you need it to be done faster, put the mixture into the freezer for 30 minutes. Wash and dry your hands, leaving them a little damp. When the mixture is firm, use your hands to shape it into a ball. Combine the fresh chopped parsley and chopped walnuts or pecans on a large plate. Roll the ball in the mixture to coat the sides of the ball thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
