Fresh Salmon and Lime Cakes
Description
An excellent fish cake, very similar to the prawn cake I have posted, but of course not as high in cholestrol. You can also try grilling it..if you are concerned about adding on the pounds. Still taste good. I have also tried making them bigger, so that they are like a salmon pattie, and eating it as a burger. YUMMY! If you want to add a little heat to the cake, chop up some spicy hot red chilli and add it to the salmon mixture. From Donna Hay's Cookbook titled "flavours".
