Salmon Cakes

What's not to love about salmon cakes? Easy, healthy, satisfying. I had some leftover smashed potatoes, and my 'secret' ingredient to coat before frying was some crushed crispy fried onions, which my brother B uses on salads!

Drain 2 cans of salmon (save the juice in a freezer bag!), add about a cup of so of smashed potatoes, some finely chopped green onion and red pepper, and parsley, and the juice of half a lemon, add an egg to bind, and some crushed bread crumbs if desired - season w/ s & p.  Make patties, and press into crushed crispy fried onions. (Instead of the fried onions, press patties into cornmeal - which also creates a really nice crust). I sprayed the pan w/ 'Pam', rather than using oil so good times. Served with roasted broccoli w/ red pepper and garlic (recipe below). Wow. Just wow.
