I have several ways I cook Salmon and a few recipes I work with when I am serving Salmon. The first way I love to use Salmon is to make Homemade Salmon Cakes with a Spicy Honey Mustard Sauce. Salmon Cakes are a favorite in my house and friends request I make these for them. They are much tastier (and different) from crab cakes, which I do enjoy.
Ingredients for Homemade Salmon Cakes
8 oz of cooked Salmon (cook it, or use leftovers or from a can/pouch)
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
¼ cup of Reduced Fat Mayonnaise
¼ tsp thyme
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
¼ tsp Oregano
¼ tsp Basil
Sprinkle of Salt and Pepper
1 tsp of lemon juice
1 Tbs Olive Oil or Butter
Ingredients for the Spicy Honey Mustard Sauce
½ cup reduced fat Sour Cream (or regular)
¼ cup Honey Mustard Dip/Dressing (I use Ken's)
1-2 tsp of hot sauce (like Texas Pete) or you could try 1 tsp of horseradish or cayenne pepper instead which will work
1-2 Tbs of Brown Sugar
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Time to make: 25 minutes. 10 to prepare cakes, 5-10 to cook, and 5 to prepare the sauce
