These could not be cuter, and if your kids are not huge fans of fish, my son LOVES salmon, what a fun way to prepare healthy salmon for kids. You could also make some of these in mini muffin tins and serve them for a party, bet no one else will bring salmon cupcakes! They are sure to be the hit of the party! I have fun making these and even more fun eating them, hope you enjoy them as well!

Steam potatoes over boiling water until tender to the poke of a fork.
Use a ricer, food mill, or a standard-issue fork to mash potatoes. In a medium glass or metal bowl, blend the potatoes with half and half and butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve.
cupcakes
To a food processor, add egg, salmon, green onion, bell pepper, breadcrumbs, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, parsley, garlic, jalapeño, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Pulse 4 or 5 times, or until coarsely chopped and well blended. If you don’t have a food processor, chop ingredients finer than indicated and blend in a bowl. Reserve. At this point salmon can be refrigerated for up to a day.
to finish and serve
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Line a muffin tin with 8 paper liners. Generously spray interior of liners with spray oil. Spoon salmon mixture into liners. Gently press salmon down and flatten level with the top of the tin.
Just before putting salmon cupcakes in the oven, reheat potatoes by covering the bowl with aluminum foil and placing it over a pot of boiling water for 5 – 10 minutes. When potatoes are steaming hot, add dill. Blend thoroughly with a fork.
Bake cupcakes for 8 minutes, or until cakes are fully set, yet still moist. Remove cakes from tin immediately so that they do not continue to cook.
Use a piping bag with a star tip, or a table knife to ice the cupcakes.
