Mediterranean Wild Alaskan Salmon Cakes

Do you agree that Greek food is pretty flavorful?  We think so, too.  That is why this salmon cake was developed, to capture all those flavors in a little cake. This cake isn’t heavy and contains a lot of vegetables so it stays really moist

You can use these and make a sandwich and add tzatziki sauce…. (you can find a tzatziki recipe here). Or you can serve it on its own as the main event and accompany it with a salad, vegetables, or even with rice.

 Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup chopped red onions
• 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
• 1/3 cup chopped artichoke hearts
• 3/4 cup feta cheese
• 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives
• 2-3 cloves minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 lb salmon burger meat, thawed and excess water drained

 Instructions:

1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl except for the salmon burger meat. Mix really well.
2. Add the salmon burger into the mix.
3. Form them into patties.  It will probably make about eight 3-ounce patties. Place them on a lined or greased cookie sheet.  Set your oven on high broil.  Broil on the top rack of your oven for 5 minutes and they will be done.  If you made smaller cakes or meatballs it will take about 2-3 minutes to cook.  It is pretty fast.
4. These patties will sure to delight your taste buds.  Serve it with tzatziki sauce and you hit a home run.
5. You can also serve it on a bun with the tzatziki sauce and made a cucumber and red onion slaw to give it a little crunch.

This for sure will be a crowd pleaser and will impress your friends and family.

Bon Appétit!
