Salmon Cakes Recipe

After another long day, I found myself hungry and staring at the shelves in the refrigerator. I looked down and saw a piece of salmon just sitting there, but what to do with it? I wanted something simple and quick. Salmon Chipotle cakes were my first thought, but we had no corn OR chipotle, so that ruled out that! I wasn't about to make a trip to the store. The problem with Salmon cakes or "burgers" are they often the are dry due to over cooking etc. You have to add moisture. Here's how I did it. The prep took about 5 minutes and cooking time will depend on your penchant for doneness. I did mine "cooked through", but just. The cooking time was about 8 minutes, just the right amount of time for the potatoes to cook.

Serves 4

1 pound 450g skinless salmon fillet, cut into chunks

4 baby bella or button mushrooms, cut in quarters

2 shallots or 1 small onion, diced

1 green onion/scallion, chopped

Small handful of chopped parsley

1 slice of country style bread, cut into 1 inch/2.5cm pieces or 1/4 cup/30g dried bread crumbs

In a food processor add the salmon, mushrooms, onion, scallion, parsley bread or bread crumb salt and pepper. Pulse 5 or 6 times or until all of the ingredients are a fine dice. You don't want a purée. It should just hold together. Remove the mixture to a board. Divide evenly into four patties.

In a large heavy skillet on medium heat add butter and olive oil. Wait for butter to stop foaming.. When it the butter stops foaming place the patties into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on once side or until golden brown, then flip over and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes.

Remove from pan and serve with olive and butter pan browned potatoes* and a spinach or salad of your choice.

16 Best Benefits Of Corn (Bhutta) For Skin, Hair And Health

Corn, also known as maize or our good old ( Bhutta/Makkai/Challi ) in Hindi, ‘ Mokka Jonnalu ‘ in Telugu, ‘ Makkacholam ‘ in Tamil, ‘ Cholam ‘ in Malayalam, ‘ Musukina Jol a’ in Kannada, ‘ Makkai ‘ in Gujarati, ‘ Makai ‘ in Marathi and Punjabi and ‘ Butta ‘ in Bengali. Corn is a large grain plant which is said to have originated in Mexico and Central America. Though viewed as a vegetable, it is actually a food grain. The leafy stalk of the plant produces ears, which contain the grains known as kernels. For every kernel on the cob, there is a strand of silk. The white and yellow kernels are most popular, but today, corn is available in red, brown, blue and purple also. The white and yellow hybrids are known as butter and sugar corn which contain both kinds of kernels. This cereal is known for its pleasant taste and its versatility. Baby corn is available in cans or jars in the supermarkets and is used in Asian cooking. This grain is generally available in summer and can be

Meaning of Memorial Day: Why do we celebrate?

BY JULIA GLUM Memorial Day may be the unofficial start of summer, but it's so much more than an excuse for a three-day weekend. It's a U.S. holiday with a lot of history and lasting significance. Held annually on the last Monday of May, Memorial Day dates back to the Civil War. Who exactly created it and where are unclear, but legend has it that the tradition began in 1864. That's when three women from Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, put flowers on the graves of loved ones who had died in the war, including a young man killed in the Battle of Gettysburg. By 1865, according to the Library of Congress, people in states such as South Carolina and Mississippi were participating in unofficial ceremonies that preceded Memorial Day. But Waterloo, New York, claims to be the birthplace of the holiday, given that it held what Nelson Rockefeller would later call the "first, formal, complete, well-planned, village-wide observance of a day entirely dedicated to honoring the wa

Thanks to the bakers' creativity and a free cookie promo, the thief has since been identified. By Jelisa Castrodale May 12, 2021 Canfora Bakery has a longstanding reputation in Milwaukee , Wisconsin for being a go-to spot for freshly baked breads and sub sandwiches , for hot ham and rolls, and for its selection of Italian cookies and other sweets. But now it's getting a lot of attention for a limited-edition menu item that the bakery owners probably wish they never had to make in the first place. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel , a man wearing a dark hoodie and a knit beanie pried the door locks open and helped himself to the cash drawer before making his escape. When Canfora's owners, Eric and Karen Krieg, got over the shock of being burgled, they came up with a clever way to try to ID the subject. They scrolled through the footage from their security cameras, found the clearest image of the alleged burglar's face, and then printed it out on edi
