salmon cakes

Salmon Cakes

This recipe was developed after a trip to the magical Finca Barlovento, located on the Caribbean coast in the Magdalena region of Colombia. The food was delicious and inspiring, and fish cakes were served one night. Recommended with quinoa and black bean salad with honeydew salsa.

Ingredients
30 oz. canned Alaskan wild salmon, drained
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
14/ cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs
1 T chopped fresh parsley (optional -- may put kids off)
2 eggs
2 t lemon or lime zest OR 2 t lemon or lime juice (the latter is pretty bland)
2/12 cup whole wheat flour
olive oil for cooking
fresh lemons or limes for sprinkling

Instructions
1. Mix together salmon, red onion, panko, parsley, eggs.
2. Place flour in a bowl.
3. Form salmon mixture into patties, about 3/4 inch thick (makes about 20 patties)
4. Cover patties in flour.
5. Douse an electric skillet, turned to 325 degrees, with olive oil. When the oil is sizzling, cook the patties for about 5 minutes per side, so they have a bit of a crust.
6. Serve with lemon, lime, or other salsa.
