Do you find yourself stuck in a rut of eating the same thing day in and day out for weeks? If you answered “Yes”, you’re not alone. But I make it a point to change things up when I can. As long as it’s tasty, healthy, and relatively quick to make, it’s fair game! Or should I say fair fish? See what I did there?

Enter these delicious salmon cakes that are both healthy and easy to make. Using canned salmon (tuna or crab would work too) makes these a convenient weeknight main course and are perfect to make extra for the next day.

Serve on a bed of steamed squash and green beans.

So, make a double batch of these to have dinner with the family and to take to work (or just have the next day if you stay at home like me) for a healthy and delicious lunch.

Baked Coconut Salmon Cakes

Ingredients

2 (5oz) cans wild salmon in water, drained (canned tuna or crab works too)

1/2 cup Coconut Flour (If you don’t have this, rolled oats also work well)

1 tsp each of cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder

1/2 tsp cayenne

2 T Dijon mustard

3 egg whites or 3 flax/chia eggs

4 T Of your favorite salsa

1 T each dried basil and dill

Pepper to taste

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees

Add all ingredients in a bowl and mix well to incorporate. You can also mix everything in a food processor if desired. If mixture seems too runny, add oats or coconut flour 1 tablespoon at a time until thick enough to hold together.

Scoop the mix into a lightly oiled 12 cup muffin pan (I filled 9 of the 12 cups) and bake in pre-heated oven for 25 -30 minutes, depending how toasted you want the top. It should have a crispy golden crust on top.

Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes.

Top each cake with your favorite mustard, salsa, or even a yogurt sauce like Tzatziki; I like them plain too. Serve with steamed veggies of choice.

Kelley’s parents, Nana and Papa, are coming over to see Avery today while Kelley and I use the time to get chores done. Kelley is going to clean our bathroom while I run to Costco and Sprouts sans baby for our weekly essentials. Yeah, we live exciting lives, don’t be jealous.

This made me realize I don’t have many pictures of Nana and Papa with Avery, so I’ll be sure to fix that today!

Avery had a big week working on her rolling abilities, and now she rolls both ways like a pro! Hopefully she’ll show off her new skills today and maybe even surprise us all and get up to tap dance. Or maybe not….

Plus, she’s been going on long walks in our new Onya Outback and always seems pretty worn out afterward.
