Spicy Salmon Cakes... so easy!



These delicious salmon cakes have a bit of a kick thanks to a generous dash of hot sauce. They are so easy to make and cheap! I love that part. The most expensive ingredient is the can of salmon. I know some folks stick their noses up at canned fish but when a pound of salmon is like $12, the $3 can of salmon is much more enticing. If you want to go all out, by all means use fresh salmon. So i hope that this is easy to follow:

Spicy Salmon Cakes
1 can salmon
1/2 c. bread crumbs
1 handful fresh chives, chopped
1/2 tsp. dried dill
1 tsp. Lowry's seasoning or any spicy Cajun seasoning
1 T. hot sauce, adjust to your likeness
Juice of 1 lemon
Slices of lemon for garnish

1. Mash the salmon with a fork in a large bowl.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and combine well.
3. Heat about a 1/4 cup of veg. oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Shape the salmon mixture into small uniform patties, use about a golf ball sized amount.
5. Cook patties in oil for about 3 to 5 mins a side or until golden brown.
6. Set cooked patties on paper towels to drain away excess oil.
7. Serve with lemon slices, cumin scented rice, and a fresh mixed green salad. I drank organic iced peach-oolong tea by Honest Tea... it was delicious.

Enjoi!
