Salmon cakes with carrot and spinach

Although very good, fish is often served as fillet with rice and vegetables… In the long run, this can get a little boring! This is why I am suggesting you this salmon cakes recipe, so that you can include fish in your menu in a different, and most of all, delicious manner.

4 servings

Preparation time : 15 minutes

Cooling : 20 minutes

Cooking time : 10 to 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 450 g skinless salmon
• 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise

• 100 ml carrots, finely grated
• 100 ml fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme

Sauce

• 250 ml 0 % fat Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Mix all ingredients in a robot-mixer. Leave mixture to stand in the fridge for 20 minutes.
2. Using a spoon, shape the salmon cakes and put them on a non-stick plate suitable for use in the oven. Depending on size, cook for 5 to 10 minutes on each side.
3. While the cakes are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients.
4. I suggest that you serve them with fresh oven-baked asparagus sprinkled with lemon juice.
