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”

Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon Basil Ricotta Sauce
This meal was light and healthy and a really nice change of pace from all the heavy Thanksgiving food and leftovers.
