CRISPY Salmon and Potato Cake

This is kinda my new fav. Takes a little more time than let’s say making a rice ball, but soooooooo worth the time and effort. Btw, if you’re confused about whether to be consuming wild or farm raised fish, welcome to the club! Research tells us there seems to be a pro and con to both sides. Depending on your health and values, it is definitely something worth looking into. With that said, it seems there is a mutual consensus that the nutritional value of a wild sustainability caught salmon does contain a much higher omega-3 content than farm raised salmon. Go wild! If you like to learn more about sustainably caught seafood, go to wildplanetfoods.com. Great info. Today I used a canned version, but if you like to use fresh salmon, definitely go for it!

So what are omega-3’s? Omega 3 fatty acids are found in cold water and Artic fish. They play an essential role in reducing overall inflammation, boosts brain function, gives us energy, burns bad fat, supports heart health by lowering bad cholesterol and increasing the good. WOW! It seems healthy fats are the ultimate food for living a healthier happier everyday! I’m on board!

Potatoes….contrary to how potatoes are perceived, they’re actually loaded with fiber, and a good source of vitamins C, potassium, manganese and a variety of phytonutrients and antioxidants!

I hope you have a chance to try out the recipe! Lots of love.
