In our home, you won’t find many “premade” food items if any at all. For me, food is an experience and a way to care for our bodies. I try my best to focus on a whole food way of eating.

Shopping on the outskirts of the supermarkets where ingredients rather than premade foods are found. And although that may seem unimaginable to many, I assure you there are plenty of things you can make that are just as quick as heating a frozen pizza. These are a go to for me when I am looking to make a quick meal. Although they seem like a treat. 

What You’ll Need To Make Salmon Cakes: 

 2- 6oz salmon filets, skin off

 1 egg

2 tbsp flour

½ cup bread crumbs

1 tbsp of chives

1 tsp lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Coconut oil for frying

Optional:

Artisan or brioche roll

Avocado

Red onion

Mayo

Lettuce

Lemon zest

Directions: 

Salt and pepper both filets and cook in the oven at 400 for 10 minutes. Once cooled, take a fork and shred them in a bowl. Add the egg, flour,  bread crumbs, lemon and chives to the bowl. Form into patties.

In a cast iron skillet melt about 2-3 tbsps of coconut oil. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Serve on a toasted bun with avocado, red onion, lettuce and mayo.

Cooking Tips:

Add a bit of the lemon zest to the mayo and toast the bun directly in the hot pan juices after the salmon cakes are finished to give it an added crispiness.

Make sure to use a boneless filet or if using canned salmon, inspect the salmon for bones prior to frying.

A cast iron pan is recommended but not necessary to make this recipe
