Muffins?? Salmon?? Yeah!!! These are great as appetisers! I used a mini muffin pan...and they turned out very well...just the right size to pop into your mouth! Served them with sweet thai chilli sauce. Though i might try them with the cream cheese and smoked salmon idea the next time....sounds good, doesn't it??
OH!! And one thing that i've learnt only very recently is that greasing and flouring cake/ muffin pans give your baked products a crusty exterior..in this case, it is perfectly fine and highly desirable...but with cakes, please do remember to line the pans with baking paper. :)

Cream cheese and salomon=excellent combination!Muffins are so much more healthier than frying cutlets.I've never tried canned salmon before. Was there a very fishy smell?

culinaryprincess: surprisely the muffins didn't taste 'fishy' at all...the cheese taste was stronger.....even a non-fish eater friend gave them the thumbs up! If you r concerned about possible 'fishiness', can try adding some minced ginger/ lemon juice. :)
