Salmon cakes
This is a quick and easy meal to whip up and an easy way to sneak in a few vegetables for picky children or adults. It’s especially great to use when you have leftover roasted salmon or leftover mashed potatoes from a night or two before!
You can be flexible to add new diced vegetable flavours like fennel bulb instead of celery or other roasted vegetables instead of the peppers and play with different herbs instead of the parsley for different flavours.
