Ingredients:
- 3 c. cooked salmon, flaked (2 packages Simply Balanced Wild Caught Salmon from Target)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 t. Kosher salt or pink Himalayan salt and 1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
- 2 small red onions finely chopped
- 8 stalks celery finely chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 large yellow bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/2 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 T. capers, drained and chopped
- 1 T. teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 T. Old Bay seasoning
- 1 cup seasoned gluten free breadcrumbs (I used ground rice crackers)
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/3 c. mayonnaise
- 1/3 c. Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 large egg, lightly beaten
Preparation:
- Add the olive oil to the pan, then add the the onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot sauce, Old Bay seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 18 to 20 minutes.
- Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Flake the salmon into a large bowl.
- Add the bread crumbs, quinoa, mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, and eggs.
- Add the vegetable mixture and mix well with your hands.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, this will make them easier to shape and become less sticky.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a non-stick baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Shape the batter into 15 (scant 1/4 cup each) cakes and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake about 10 to 12 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
