Salmon & Quinoa Fish Cakes

salmon-quinoa-fish-cakes

These delicious salmon fish cakes are a healthier option by being baked rather than fried. I used tinned wild red salmon but fresh salmon would work perfectly also. I served them with a tomato, red onion and avocado salsa.

The fish flavour is quite subtle as they are mixed with a bunch of wonderful flavours like sweet potato, quinoa, fresh herbs and lemon.

For a super healthy meal choice, these are wonderful served with a big salad or steamed vegetables. Don’t be afraid to eat these cold, they are just as good the next day!

    These were really delicious and the fresh herbs stood out. Very nourishing and makes a lot (11 patties). I wound up frying the second batch as the oven baking turned the first batch to mush when I tried to flip them. The kids liked them so we’ll be making them again soon. Thank you!

      So glad to hear you enjoyed them Anna! They work great fried, sometimes I do that also.
