Salmon cakes
These golden, crunchy salmon cakes are simple, tasty and really easy to prepare. Best of all they are made from pantry staples, making them a wonderful budget-friendly dinner. Another great reason to make these salmon cakes is that you can add any leftover ingredients that you have in the fridge like: fresh herbs (parsley, dill and coriander work well), finely grated lemon rind, chopped chilli, capers, garlic or even some wholegrain mustard. Got a pantry stocked with lots of herbs and spices? Why not add some dried Italian herbs, smoked paprika, lemon pepper seasoning or Mexican chilli powder. Not just for dinner, send these tasty patties off too school with the kids in their chilled lunch box for a wonderful change to their usual sandwich. Source: kidspot
