MY 2025 MOUTHWATERING SEAFOOD DISH paired with ASPARAGUS-- SALMON-COD CAKES!

I haven’t made seafood cakes in a long time. I had some salmon and cod pieces left from the filets that I prepared to freeze for the week and were not large enough for a meal or two. So, I cleaned them as well and save them to come up with my own Cod-Salmon Cakes recipe. Boom!

Ingredients
1 Salmon steaks cut in small bite size pieces ($3.76)
1 Cod steaks cut in small bite size pieces ($3.76)
1/2 cup GF Panko bread crumbs (.30)
1/2 a large onion, chopped (.30)
1 tbsp. granulated roasted garlic (.20)
1 tbsp. Angie’s Dry Seasoning (.20)
1 tsp. Lemon Pepper Seasoning (.20)
1 egg (.20)
Chopped Cilantro (.25)
1 lemon (for juice and to garnish) (.35)
2 tbsp. Tzatziki or Sour Cream (instead of mayonnaise) (.25)
2 ½ tbsp. olive oil to cook the cakes (.50)
 ½ lb. asparagus for 2 ($2.60)

TWO STEPS DIRECTIONS 
STEP 1
Clean the salmon/Cod filets and cut them in small mini bite pieces. (I don’t use the skin)
Cut the cilantro and onion real small, add to the fish and mix well to combine.
Beat the egg with 1 tbsp. granulated roasted garlic, 1 tbsp. Angie’s Dry Seasoning and 1 tsp. Lemon Pepper Seasoning, add it to the fish mixture and mix to combine.
Sprinkle ½ c. of Panko over it, mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes so the Panko absorb any moisture left in the seafood mix.

STEP 2
After the refrigeration time is over, take the seafood mix from the fridge and mix briefly.
To obtain even sizes cakes, scoop with an ice cream scooper and shape it with your wet hands.
If they are a bit wet, dredge the cakes lightly in bread crumbs on both sides, shake the excess. 
Add olive oil to a skillet in med. high and cook your cakes until golden brown.
You are now ready to plate. Add the asparagus to a plate, top with one or 2 cakes, add Tzatziki on the side to dip them and Boom, done. Done!
