To be honest, I really don’t LOVE salmon.  When I first started eating it, I didn’t like it at all.

So why do I eat it at least once a week if not twice?  Because it is VERY nutrient-dense and has AMAZING health benefits!!!

Over the years, I have found ways to cook salmon so that I like it enough to actually eat it.  The other thing I have discovered is that the quality of the salmon matters A LOT!  I order the majority of our seafood from Vital Choice because the quality is amazing.  I think the investment in high-quality food is worth it.  We cook mostly at home so that right there saves money.

You can CLICK HERE to order from Vital Choice and get $10 OFF.

Benefits of Salmon

  • Rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are anti-inflammatory, these fats support “good” cholesterol
  • Great source of protein
  • High in B vitamins
  • Good source of potassium
  • Loaded with selenium
  • Full of vitamins A,D, E and K which benefit bones, joints, eyes, feed the brain, repair muscle, and regulate metabolic balance
  • Contains the antioxidant astaxanthin
  • May reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering blood pressure & inflammation
  • May benefit weight control
  • Improves memory and is good food for your brain
  • Facilitates healthy skin, the fatty acids in salmon helps your skin to hold water, making it smooth, supple, and youthful

Wow, that is a lot of health benefits in just one food.  Salmon is what I would call a SUPERFOOD!

This recipe for Baked Salmon Cakes is one that you can meal prep on the weekend or quickly make for an easy weeknight dinner.


Baked Salmon Cakes

Ingredients

  • 3 - 6 oz. cans of wild salmon
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup almond flour or 2-3 TBSP coconut flour
  • 2 tsp. dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1 TBSP seafood seasoning or Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • ¼ tsp. paprika
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • ½ TBSP lemon juice
  • 2 TBSP grass-fed butter or ghee, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain liquid from salmon and add to a medium sized mixing bowl. Add pumpkin, eggs, almond or coconut flour, dijon mustard, dried parsley, seafood or Old Bay seasoning, sea salt, paprika, black pepper, & lemon juice and mix well.
  3. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  4. Brush the parchment paper with some of the melted butter or ghee. Use a ⅓ measuring cup to scoop the cakes and drop them on the parchment paper. Once you have all the cakes on the baking sheet, use your fingers to shape them a bit. Each cake will be about 2 ½ inches wide and 1 inch thick. Brush the remaining melted butter or ghee on top of the cakes.
  5. Bake the cakes for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully flip each cake, then return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Add your salmon cakes on top of a salad or serve with roasted vegetables. We like to top ours with Primal Kitchen mayo.
