While my Spicy Turkey Crock Pot Lasagna did its thing, I whipped up salmon cakes for lunch. Amy Locurto calls for salmon cakes with a side of mashed potatoes. Instead, I added my potatoes to the salmon cakes...just like Nana and mommy used to do. I also added my own special salad, inspired by a co-worker.
I got the salad out of the way while I boiled my potatoes. No big deal. I just steamed some peas...not too long...you still want them nice and firm. Then, I shredded some carrot, thinly sliced a red onion, cut up some canned red beets, chopped salted cashews, and then dressed with olive oil, salt, and pepper. So good!
Once the potatoes we done, I mixed together 4 pouches of salmon (first time I bought these...not bad), bread crumbs, 2 whisked eggs, sliced scallions, and parsley. Amy says to use cilantro but lately I just haven't been a fan. Besides, parsley makes me think of my Nana, as do poor man's crab cakes. That's what she used to call these, except her's were made with tuna fish.
I formed nice little round patties and threw them in a pan of piping hot olive oil. I let them brown, flipped them, let them brown, blotted them, and done!
