Healthy Salmon Cakes Recipe

Ingredients

One 15-ounce can salmon, drained and flaked (about 2 cups)

1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

1 small red bell pepper (or half of a large pepper), seeded and finely chopped

3 scallions, white and light-green parts only, finely chopped

1 large whole egg

3 large egg whites

1 teaspoon mustard powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Few dashes Tabasco (optional)

1 cup bread crumbs

Mixed greens, for serving

Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a bowl, combine salmon, beans, bell pepper, scallions, egg, egg whites, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, Tabasco (if using), and 1/2 cup bread crumbs. Using hands, combine well.

Pour remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. Form salmon mixture into 12 2 1/2-inch patties. Coat patties in bread crumbs; place on prepared baking sheet. Cook until golden brown and crisp, flipping cakes over halfway, about 30 minutes. Serve warm over greens.
