A great family recipe for salmon…..
A friend recently shared a great recipe for salmon cakes with me. I tried it and everyone at my house loved it from my 16 month old up. It will become a regular so I thought I would share it.
Now you may be asking why salmon? Well everyday it seems we hear more and more about the benefits of the omega fatty acids found in fatty fish like salmon and tuna. Most recently strudies have shown signifiant link between poor omega 3 intake and increase in alzehimers disease. So I am trying to make sure we all add more to our diet but especially my kids. There is also the fact that I try to foster the love of many different foods and encourge my kids to eat a large variety of flavors.
Salmon Cakes
1 box of Stove Top Stuffing flavor of choice (I used cornbread)
1/2 to 1 cup of mayonaise or a half/half combination of mayo and sour cream
12-16oz of salmon ( I found some wonderful salmon in a vacume sealed package near the canned tuna, it was very fresh tasting)
Make the box of Stove Top as directed. Mix stuffing, salmon and enough mayo and/or sour cream to hold cakes together/moisten well. Shape mixture into cakes. Pan fry in small amout of oil just until warm through and golden brown. Makes about a dozen average sized patties.
