The inspiration for this recipe came from a yummy Pinterest pic by A Nutritionist Eats. I loved the idea but just can’t follow a recipe to save my life.
So I added in some potatoes, peppers, and onions, tweaked a few of the herbs and spices, and voila!
Ingredients:
3 c. baked, flaked salmon
3 c. shredded potato (squeeze dry)
2 eggs
1/2 c. bread crumbs
3 minced garlic cloves
2.5 T mayonnaise
1/3 c. chopped sweet bell pepper
1/3 c. chopped onion
1 tsp dried parsley
4 tsp dried dill weed
salt and pepper, as desired
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
2. Scoop out 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup of mix, form into 3″ cakes.
4. Serve with aioli (recipe below) on the side.Makes 10 large cakes.*I used 1 lb of salmon filets from Aldi and baked them for 12 minutes at 350 before flaking. I don’t care for canned salmon, and this was ready by the time I prepped the other ingredients.
*Instead of using fresh potatoes, which can be really wet and starchy, I used frozen shredded potatoes from Aldi.Lemon Garlic Aioli
