Salmon Cakes Using Dehydrated US Potatoes

Congratulations to me! Weee! I feel like singing. I just got back from my check-up and everything came back normal: blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides. Hmmmm, and my doctor took me off one of my maintenance meds too. Oh I’m so happy!

I guess what I’m doing works, so I’m sticking with this diet for life — well, with occasional “cheat days” I suppose.. *wink*

Salmon-Cakes-3

I love Salmon but it can be a bit expensive when bought from the supermarket. There are times when I chance upon fresh ones at the palengke for a cheaper price. That’s when I buy more then store it in the freezer for later use.

As promised, I’m sharing with you the recipe for the Salmon Cakes I mentioned in my 5 Day Meal Plan post yesterday. You can make this from freshly cooked salmon and mashed potato or if you have leftovers from yesterday’s dinner, say like grilled salmon and garlic mashed potato, that would work too.

Dehydrated-potatoes

To make the mashed potatoes, I used Dehydrated US Potatoes. It’s also popularly known as instant mashed potatoes, which you can make just by adding butter, milk, and water to it.

I flaked the cooked salmon and mixed it with the mashed potato, lemon juice, chives, mustard, egg, flour, salt and pepper. Then I formed this into a ball and dusted it with more flour so it won’t stick. It was chilled in the fridge for one hour so it would firmer. Lastly, I fried it in olive oil until brown and crispy on the outside.

It was then served on top of a simple salad made with mixed greens, cucumber, black olives , and tomato with a Sriracha Lemon Sauce. It was sooo good!

It has a crunch and a bite to it outside but inside it’s soft, buttery, and creamy. We loved it!! peanutbutter and Ykaie ate this with a little bit of rice. I had this as it is. The salad didn’t need any dressing because of the Sriracha Lemon Sauce.

  4. I love salmon cakes! I have never tried to make them with dehydrated potatoes before. Sounds like a great ingredient that will add some great flavor!
