Pan Seared Salmon on Potato Cake and Wilted Spinach With Dijon Sauce
I made this one last night and it was a wonderful meal a truly company worthy dish with hardly any effort. The potato cakes are great but need to be cooked for a good while to make sure they are cooked all the way through. I loved the sauce that went with and I warmed this on the stove before adding to the plate. If you would like to see more photos of this recipe please click here.
