Things are finally coming around at home. I am feeling better and the knee is cooperating enough to walk with no pain. That is a big relief. We have not been tackling new recipes, but some of the good oldies. Trying to lose a little weight so we are having 3 nights of fish or seafood which we both love and just don't eat often enough. A couple of these recipes we love so much and I have posted in the past. They are good enough that I invite you to take a first or second look.
Salmon Burgers with Cilantro Mayonnaise. This time we passed on the mayo and placed these wonderful, tasty burgers on lettuce with a lemon vinaigrette. Delicious and so easy.
This is a picture of last nights' burgers or patties. They are so simple to prepare. We usually buy a side of salmon at Costco and then bring it home to cut into serving pieces to freeze. The tail end tends to get a little thin, so this is perfect for the burgers. Simply cut up and pulse in a food processor with the other ingredients. I form the patties and chill for a short time before a quick fry with little oil in the pan. So darn good...really!!
This is not your mama's salmon patties out of the can. I know you will love this. I hope you try them.

Spicy Mussels, Clams and Shrimp. So, so good. We have been making this recipe since 2003 and we have never, ever gotten enough of it. Because of the weight thing...ahem...we did pass on the crusty bread this evening. Difficult, but not impossible.
Now tomorrow, we are trying a new recipe using red snapper. I will post this. I am already knowing this will be great because of the lovely salsa that goes on top. Stay tuned.
I could sure go for all parts of this meal.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these two, Susan. We have been trying to watch our diets. Last year I managed to drag off 20 lbs. Can't believe how much better I (and my knee) feel. Then Evan got on the wagon in January. He has lost 18 so far). Anyway, I really appreciate some new and healthy recipes!! Thanks so much and good luck with your watching your diets. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteIt is good to take a second look at good, tried and true recipes. Often we need that little nudge to bring something back and make it again. The salmon burger look awesome. We've been eating fish once a week and I'm lucky my daughter ask's for it. I need to try these.
ReplyDeleteThe salmon burger looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis evening I tried your favourite Salad Dressing - Pacific Rim - and we loved it.
Thanks for these recipes, Nigel has been putting on weight so perhaps I should step up on the fish in his diet. Hopefully he will start cycling again soon and the exercise may help. Glad to hear that the knee is improving. Happy Easter. Diane
ReplyDeleteI need to take a second look at some old recipes that seem to have fallen by the wayside. Love your ideas with salmon and can't wait to see the red snapper dish.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know you are getting around better. When we aren't getting around, everything quickly comes to a halt. When trying to lose a pound or two, we cut out mayo and cheese. Also eat a lot of tomatoes and cucumbers.
Hope you continue to feel better and enjoy a lovely Easter weekend.

I have to try those salmon burgers! They look delicious. Glad you're feeling better and best wishes for a wonderful Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love salmon patties... even out of the can :)
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous recipe!!! We just found out my youngest is allergic to shrimp :( but I'll definitely try you salmon burgers...yum.
ReplyDeletePS...I gave you a shout out on today's post :) Guess what I made???? SO good!
Both of these recipes sound wonderful, Susan. I'm trying to add more fish to my diet too and what a delicious way to do it. I've printed out both and look forward to trying them. It looks like there shouldn't be any problem with make half the salmon recipe.
ReplyDeleteSusan, so glad to hear you're feeling a bit better - these salmon patties look like they would make anyone feel better, YUM!
