Made with simple, healthy ingredients, these salmon cakes are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
Loaded with protein rich quinoa, vitamin dense kale, and salmon full of heathy fats, we love that these salmon cakes are basically an all in one meal! They are great plain, on a bun, or a lettuce wrap and pair wonderfully with roasted vegetables or on top of a salad.
I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. Everyone we have served these salmon cakes to has gobbled them up, even our kids who ask for seconds every time!
Place salmon on a tinfoil lines pan skin side down. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
While salmon bakes, heat oil in a pan and sauté the onions and greens until tender.
Once salmon is done, let cool and shred into small pieces. Place in a bowl along with the cooked quinoa, mustard, onions, and greens, seasonings, and egg. Mix to combine and form into patties, about 1/2 cup each.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until each side has a a slightly golden brown crust.
Serve with honey mustard dressing or sauce of choice. Can be enjoyed plain, on a bun (if not paleo), or on a lettuce wrap.
