Salmon Cakes and Birthday Cake Too

Salmon cakes for dinner.

And breakfast

I cooked the patties for 4+ minutes a side.

First they spent an hour in the fridge getting a bit more solid

before cooking.

No recipe for these cakes.

I put together the ingredients that I had in the kitchen

that I thought would work.

That included:

1 1/2 cans of salmon, 

(I would have used two whole cans but Kristine needed 1/2 can)

salt and pepper,

other stuff I don't remember,

2 eggs, grated ginger, minced garlic, 

lemon juice, greek yogurt,

minced peppers/onions/tomato/celery, mayo,

and I used whole wheat biscuits instead of bread crumbs.

Anyway, they tasted really good.

I think all you have to do is put together stuff that you like.

As far as the salmon goes...

I poured off most of the liquid

and just dumped all the fish in from the cans.

Fish, skin, bones

and I would have used the liquid too

but it would have made the cakes too wet.

I didn't have enough biscuits

to soak up all the liquid.

Hated pouring off all that good salmon juice.

And lunch

Since I really don't like to use plastic that much

I use dishes and bowls for covers.

Works for me.

It is what I remember my family doing in the 40's.

These 5 are all that are left

cooling a bit before going in the fridge.

I hadn't made fish cakes for a long time.

They were really good!

I think I will go on a fish cake kick for a while.

Until we get tired of them.

We had German Chocolate cake for dessert.

We had some last night too.

Half the cake is gone!

Happy Birthday, Kristine

Last night I looked for the stars and moon

but didn't see them.

Maybe there were clouds.

I'll try again tonight.
