Inspired by a post I saw, I decided to shake up our salmon this week. Rather than our usual baking or BBQing, I decided to make salmon cakes.
Here is my version of Naked Moxie's recipe:
1 lb salmon
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/2 yellow pepper, diced
2 green onions, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups panko
Olive oil
Bake salmon at 350F for 15-20 minutes, or until done. Cool for 10 minutes.
While salmon is baking, dice vegetables.
Flake salmon into a large bowl. Add in the red pepper, yellow pepper, green onions, garlic, spices, dijon, eggs and panko. Mix well. Use your hands!
Form patties from the salmon mixture, approximately 8 (depending on the size you prefer).
In a skillet, heat some olive oil.
Place salmon cakes into the heated olive oil and cook until browned on both sides.
This would pair well with a salad, and we had ours with quinoa.
VERDICT:
My husband and I both enjoyed the salmon, it was a nice change to our usual! I particularly enjoyed the fresh veggies inside the cakes, added nice crunch and colour. Our son stuck his nose up at the dinner, more because he was tired than anything because once he tried the salmon, he also liked it. In fact...I'm going to go eat the leftovers now!
