12 Feb Salmon Cakes with Arugula and Cherry Tomatoes

If you are looking for a simple meal that is delicious and perfect for entertaining than you need to try this recipe! Canned salmon is usually a wild source – making it a budget-friendly way to get in those omega-3 fats. To further boost your nutrition you can opt for canned salmon with bones –  a fantastic way to get in calcium 🙂 For this recipe, I used canned salmon that was skinless and boneless. To accompany the salmon cakes,  I made a simple salad of arugula, cherry tomatoes and fresh parmesan shavings topped with a fresh balsamic vinaigrette.
