Categories     Grains

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (14 3/4 ounce) can salmon
1 cup old fashioned oats (NOT quick cooking!)
1/3 cup skim milk
1 egg (I use 1/4 c eggbeaters, southwestern style)
1/8 cup red onion, finely minced
1/8 cup bell pepper, finely minced
2 -4 tablespoons cilantro, fresh and minced
2 -4 tablespoons chives, fresh and minced
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash lime juice
1 -2 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1/8 cup cheese, shredded (I use Soy-Sation 3 cheese blend from TJ's)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit, refrigerated for at least half-hour to allow flavors to blend.
  • Heat non-stick skillet on med-hi, spray with olive oil spray.
  • Form patties and cook in skillet for about 5 mins each side or until outside is crispy.
  • The cheese helps the patties stay together and keeps everything moist. Yum!

Tips:

  • For a crispy exterior, pan-fry the salmon cakes until golden brown.
  • To ensure the cakes stay moist and flavorful, do not overcook them.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of spices and herbs to your taste preference.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute the cayenne pepper with paprika or chili powder.
  • Serve the salmon cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, guacamole, or salsa.
  • For a healthier alternative, bake the salmon cakes in the oven instead of pan-frying them.
