Cooking is a way to express your creativity through food. Food is meant to be savoured and enjoyed and can often bring people together.
Here a few Salmon cake recipes I swear by that will bring people together and have a good time through the heart of food.I’ve been watching my mother and her sisters cook salmon fish cakes for a long time and wanted to learn how to do so myself.I received thumbs up on both recipes. Their recipe was excellent, but I decided to add my on flare to it and kick it up a notch. notch and add some flavour with a few spices and herbs. Not bad if I say so myself. My toughest critic is my mother and my teenagers and they provided the green light so now I’m glad to pass it along. These two recipes are simple and easy to make. They can be served with any choice of vegetable or even a nice side salad. Salmon cakes are a real crowd pleaser for any occasion [picnic, BBQ], or just a nice dinner among family and friends.The can also be served as appetizers instead of the main course. These Salmon cake recipes will give award winning smiles, standing ovations and plenty of requests for dinner parties.
Here’s to good eating and great food. Enjoy.
