Salmon Cakes with Brussel Sprouts

One of my health goals is to eat more omega 3 fats...and thus to eat more salmon. But, salmon can be expensive, especially the good stuff. This is a very tasty recipe for canned salmon, which is very economical.

Serves 3

Ingredients:
1 can of salmon
1 egg
3 tablespoons of good mustard
1 clove of garlic, chopped
Squeeze of lemon juice
Crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
Dried Dill Sesoning
Bag of frozen brussel sprouts(steam in bag)

Take the salmon out of the can and remove the bones and skin. Place into a bowl. Add the garlic, dill, pepper flakes, and squeeze of lemon juice. Toss to combine. Add one egg and 1 tablespoon of mustard and combine. We are using this combination as a binder for the salmon. Add more if necessary to hold the ingredients together. Form the salmon into patties a little smaller than the palm of your hand. I usually get 6 to 8 salmon patties.

Heat some oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add the salmon patties to the pan. Be careful not to overload the pan because you need room to flip the patties. After about 4 minutes, check to see if the patties have browned. If so, flip and cook until the other side is browned.

While the patties are cooking, heat the frozen vegetables according to directions.

For a great sauce to top your patties, combine 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise with 1 Tablespoon mustard and a squeeze of lemon juice. Or omit the mayonnaise and just use mustard and lemon juice.
