For a light dinner – Salmon cakes with mixed herbs
Pour un diner léger – Faux cake de saumon aux herbes
When you have little time to cook like I had tonight, those cakes are perfect, they’re quick, light and nutritious, and quite full filling. I didn’t feel like having a piece of salmon but was more in the mood for a more elaborated flavor and texture. You can use white fish also, and add a shrimp in the middle of the mixture when filling the molds. They are perfect for a light dinner with a green salad, I used my silicon molds, but you can use any other mini cake molds, but they’ll need to be greased or they’ll stick to the bottom of the pan.
