Salmon Cakes with Tartar Sauce

March 23, 2012 By Vanessa Rae Romero

Yesterday I had about a half an hour to throw together a quick lunch, take a few pics with very minimal natural light (it was overcast and raining here in MN) and scarf it down before my nephews arrived for the afternoon. I was in the mood for salmon or maybe it was my spectacular macadamia mayo. Either way, I decided to throw together some quick salmon cakes with an easy tartar sauce. Neither my taste buds nor my stomach were disappointed.

I cannot tell a lie, what you see is what you get. This was my lunch. Other than the few tablespoons of shallots, not a green vegetable in sight. I made up for it at dinnertime with a heaping pile of coleslaw, I promise. If I would have been thinking, I would have wrapped these fish cakes in romaine lettuce leaves, of which I have four big heads of in the fridge. Did you know, Costco has a decent selection of organic veggies? I realize it varies from location to location, but check it out. This past week we picked up organic broccolini, mixed salad greens and the aforementioned romaine.

Traditional salmon cakes are made with bread crumbs or cracker meal. We can replace this highly processed gluten and grain containing ingredient by using coconut flour. Add a little parsley, some chopped shallots, a couple eggs to bind them together and you have an easy lunch or dinner. Feel free to play with fresh herbs or additional spices like dill or maybe cilantro. Personally I prefer to keep the recipe simple and let the easy tartar sauce, made with macadamia mayo, steal the show.

AND JUST LIKE THAT...our little buddy is seven!!! He loves the great outdoors; fishing, swimming, and four-wheeling are his favorite things. He wakes up happy and goes to bed happy. He is super sweet and gives the best hugs. He is humming, singing, or whistling at all times. He makes us all smile and spreads joy wherever he goes. Happy birthday Asher, you are oh so loved!!! 💜

Since the very beginning of our time with Young Living Essential Oils, I have asked God what I did to deserve the success we’ve had. He has blessed and enriched our lives with so so so many special people that I deeply care about. We are excited when new members say yes and super sad when members move along. Yesterday, we had a fun gathering in our home, for the first time in a long time. I cried. I’m crying now. This isn’t my YL “business”. These are PEOPLE that God placed in our path to love, support, serve, encourage, and educate. I’ve been doing this for 7 1/2 years and plan to do it for at least 7 1/2 more!!! 💜🤍🖤

I bought this petunia planter for myself on Mother’s Day. I have deadheaded and watered her daily. Sometimes twice a day. In return she has brought me so much JOY!!! And when that joy runs out, I have 16 more flowering planters to tend to. 💜💜💜 #addictedtoflowers
