Light salmon cakes

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 mediums Idaho potatoes
Juice of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 lemon - finely minced
½ cup Chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons Italian parsley - fresh, minced
12 ounces Cooked fresh OR canned salmon - skin and bones
Removed
2 Egg whites - stiffly beaten
Mustard-Dill Sauce - see recipe (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. 2. Bake the potatoes for 1 to 1-½ hours.

Cool slightly. Scoop the flesh from the skins; place in a bowl and mash. Let cool completely. 3. Mix the potato with the lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, and parsley. Gently mix in the salmon. Fold in the egg whites. 4. Form the mixture into 12 salmon patties, 2 inches in diameter and ½-inch thick. 5. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Spray or wipe with canola oil. Fry the salmon cakes for 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Serve immediately with lemon wedges or Mustard-Dill Sauce on the side.

Serves 4.

Author's note: Mashed potatoes and egg whites lighten these nicely.

You can use fresh cooked salmon, of course, but nobody would ever know they're made with canned.
