Flaked salmon and black beans, which make up the bulk of salmon cakes, are both good sources of calcium. The cakes are coated in a spicy bread-crumb mixture and then baked at a high temperature to make them crisp.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 (240 g) cans red salmon
1/4 cup oats
1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (coriander)
kosher salt
pepper

Steps:

Mix all ingredients together.
If the mixture is too soft, add more oats. If the mixture is too dry add another egg white.
Shape into cakes.
Spray non-stick frying pan and cook until golden on each side.
These are delicious hot or cold.

Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have fresh breadcrumbs, you can make your own by toasting slices of bread and then processing them in a food processor until they are fine crumbs.
Be sure to drain the canned salmon well before adding it to the mixture, or the cakes will be too wet.
Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Overmixing will make the cakes tough.
Form the cakes into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick and 3 inches wide.
Pan-fry the cakes over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
Serve the salmon cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
