Makes 30 one-inch balls

Matzo meal, made from unleavened matzo crackers, is used in this recipe to help hold the arugula mixture together, much the same way that breadcrumbs are often used as a binder in meatloaf.

    Method: 

    Remove stems from arugula. Steam leaves just until limp. Run cold water over leaves to cool. Press out excess water; chop fine. Chop salmon very fine with a knife or use a food processor. Add salt, pepper, zest and ricotta, mix well. Place these ingredients into mixing bowl. Stir in arugula, green onion, provolone and matzo meal by hand. Roll mixture into one-inch balls. Place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 400°F for 7 minutes.
