Salmon Cakes

To be honest, I wasn't too crazy about the salmon burgers I made before. These are more what I had in mind, and are way simple to make besides. Cheers!

Ingredients:

1 can salmon, drained
2 medium zucchinis, peeled and grated
2 green onions, chopped
1 large bunch of dill, chopped (you can never have enough dill!)
1/2 - 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs (to hold it together)
4 T. mayonnaise
2 1/2 T. lemon juice
1 T. dijon or grainy mustard
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil for cooking

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients except olive oil together

2. Shape into patties (add more panko breadcrumbs if they aren't holding together)

3. Cook over olive oil on medium heat until slightly browned; there is nothing technically raw in this, so don't worry about undercooking; it's more to hold it together and give it a little crunch.

Cranberry Apple Cole Slaw

Not an original idea, but rather one based off of my friend Elizabeth's idea (and I think she based it on something else as well). Oh, well. Here is my interpretation; all measures are approximate, but anyway, it was super delicious! Murat thought it was too sweet, though, so adjust sugar level according to your taste.

Ingredients:

1/2 purple cabbage, shredded (could also use green, if you like)

1-2 large carrots, grated
2 green onions, chopped
1 apple, diced
1 large handful dried cranberries
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
1/8 - 1/4 cup sugar
1-2 tsp. mustard (optional)
small amount black pepper

Directions:

1. Just mix together, obviously.
