Salmon Burgers/Patties With a Herb Sauce
I made these the other night as I had some salmon to use up and served them over salad it made for a delicious meal. I also made a sour cream herb sauce to accompany them using up some fresh herbs on my fridge. I cooked these on the stove top in a pan but they would also work on the BBQ just as well. You could also serve them in burger buns with some lettuce tomato and avocado.

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.
