SEARED SALMON ON POTATO CAKE, WILTED SPINACH W/ DIJON SAUCE
Simple one skillet meal but beautiful and tasty. The Zaar powers that be made me include the ingredients for the potato pancake recipe I used. Please refer to the chef's recipe for directions or use your own potato cake recipe. Keep in mind the nutritional info will be incorrect for this reason, i.e. only used half the ingredients for the potato cakes.

POTATO'N SALMON CAKES
Quick easy recipe to make after a hard day's work. For the mashed potatoes use plain cooked potatoes mashed with no added ingredients. Just cook extra potatoes the night before and take out what you will need for this recipe. If you want a little spice add 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes I like a bit of Tartar sauce and a green salad along side or a couple of steamed vegetables. Great summer dish. This recipe goes a long way from one small can of salmon. I would like to stress use leftover cooked potatoes not left over mashed potatoes that already have got a lot of extra ingredients in them!

JAVANESE ROASTED SALMON AND WILTED SPINACH
This salmon dish is amazing! I was invited for dinner the other night and this was the main course. The red pepper flakes give off plenty of heat, but it's nicely balanced by the brown sugar and other ingredients. The sauce is heavenly!I asked for the recipe, and my host said she got it out of the latest issue of "Bon Apetit" which I had sitting on my coffee table! This comes from the "Saucebox" restaurant in Portland, Oregon.
