SALMON CAKES WITH CHIVE SAUCE

June 20, 2014

It is all too easy for me to get in a rut with boneless, skinless chicken breasts (oops, didn’t mean to make that sound so gross) and serve up the same protein seven nights a week. Occasionally, we do ground turkey. And even more rarely, some form of pork or beef. But fish. I always forget you in my day to day!! And you’re pricey, so if I am going to splurge, it better be for a real good dinner. So, how about salmon cakes!! Very nice.

    Have you tried any other herbs instead of parsley(e.g. dill or oregano)? Thinking about doing a variation of these at my restaurant.
