Pink Salmon Cakes

This is very possibly my new favorite seafood dish. We were given a package of Chicken of the Sea pink salmon - something I've never had in my entire life. I didn't know what to do with it, so it's been sitting in the cupboard.

In an effort to save money and use up the staples we already have, I came across this salmon. Flipping it over, there was a recipe that sounded wonderful - simple salmon cakes. There were only a few ingredients and it would take no time at all. That's my kind of recipe! It turned out to be delightful, filling and very healthy.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
cayenne pepper to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 6 oz pouch pink salmon
1 medium egg, beaten
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3 Tbsp butter

1.Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in salmon, egg and 1/3 of the bread crumbs.

2. Divide mixture into four pieces and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball in remaining bread crumbs and flatten into a patty.

3. Heat butter in skillet. Fry the patties over medium heat until browned, 3-4 minutes on each side.

4. Serve with veggies and fruit for a complete, healthy meal.
