Tuesday "Try"... Salmon

 A busy day calls for a simple and quick meal. So I had this can of Wild Caught Salmon on my pantry shelf. I opened it up and mixed together some salmon patties.

Then I already had a kale salad made up in the refrigerator, so I made a a sauce of mayo, dill and lemon juice to put on the salmon patties... magic! Dinner is served in no time.

Salmon Patties

1 15oz can wild caught salmon

1 egg

2 Tb. mayo

1 tsp. mustard

1/4 cup finely cut onion

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 - 1/2 cup of bread crumbs

1 Tb. fresh squeezed lemon juice

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

2-4 Tb. Mayonaise

1/4 -1/2 tsp. dill

1 Tb. fresh squeezed lemon juice

Mix all ingredients together - form into patties and fry in small amount of butter and oil.

Add any other spices that you like - tailor them to your taste. 

Don't be afraid to "play with your food"

Thursday " Tip "... Buttermilk

     Ever go to make a recipe or look up one and realize you have every thing you need, except buttermilk. Have no fear, there is a way to make buttermilk without running out to the store. This tip works for almond, coconut, soy or any other kind of non-dairy milk as well.

     For each cup of milk or non-dairy milk add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar
(regular or apple cider vinegar will work). Stir it around and let it sit for 5 minutes.

     Another option - Mix 1 3/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar with a cup of milk, stir and let it sit for 5 min.

     Now that you have your buttermilk made... enjoy the process of baking/cooking!
