Rising to the Real Food Challenge
I tried a new recipe tonight for the real food challenge and of course it was from Jamie's Food Revolution cook book! I wanted to try out a simple, quick one to add to our 'just got home from work & need dinner now!' list of quick meals. I chose the Salmon Fish Cakes, a basic recipe.
Ingredient list:
salmon
potatoes
italian parsley
egg
flour
lemon
salt & pepper
olive oil
I followed his recipe for the most part, but made it for 2 servings instead (4 salmon cakes) and kept the skin on my potatoes. Overall, they were so quick and easy to make, tasted yum (especially with the lemon squeezed on top) and got 2 thumbs up!
In the book he recommends to try it with a tomato, olive, basil and chile sauce (recipe in book) which I may do next time. I just served it with broccoli as we were wanting a light meal. But any other green side would be nice, especially a salad.
A fun idea to make these salmon cakes more kid-friendly: prior to cooking, shape the salmon mixture using cookie cutters, such as a fish cookie cutter and add a pea for the eye! Or present your salmon fish on a sea of peas!

Love salmon cakes! This looks like a great recipe, never thought about making them fancier with tomatoes etc.
