The Gluten-Free Homemaker

I go through phases with some foods. Canned salmon is one of them. I hadn’t used it in a long time, but recently picked some up at the store. Tonight I decided to put it to use and made salmon cakes (recipe below).

I also tried out a new food item for us – Alexia sweet potato julienne fries (frozen). The ingredient list looked safe including modified potato starch and rice flour. My two older kids were not home for dinner so I didn’t get their reaction, but the three of us who ate them thought they were good. In fact, my husband usually does not eat sweet potatoes so I didn’t tell him what they were. He guessed sweet potatoes or carrots by the color and willingly gave them a try. They were a hit, and now I have a way to serve him sweet potatoes!

Gluten-Free Salmon Cakes

• 1 can salmon, bones removed
• 1 Tb. lemon juice
• 1 large egg
• 2 Tb. gluten-free bread crumbs
• pepper to taste
• coconut or other cooking oil

Combine all ingredients in a bowl then form into patties (I made five). Fry in hot oil until brown on both sides and hot through.

These were a big hit with the kids. One of boys who was not home for dinner had one for lunch the next day and said, "What was that thing I ate? Do you have more?"
