These salmon cakes are kind of like a salmon version of a crab cake. They are a great way to use up leftover salmon, or as something different to make using salmon. My family is crazy about capers, so this lemon caper tartar sauce was perfect to serve with these.  The salmon cakes are made up ofContinueContinue reading “Salmon Cakes with Lemon Caper Tartar Sauce”

This recipe is a variation on my quick and easy Skillet Tortilla Pizza, but with a Mexican twist. Chorizo and potato makes an excellent filling for tacos or tortas, so why not on a pizza?
