Monday Munchies: Mango Salsa

We have a lot of salmon...in Alaska...who would of thunk! Anywhoo, we have a lot of salmon and I'm always looking for different ways to make it. I had a mango that really needed to be used and I thought a fresh mango salsa would go really well with some grilled salmon.

You will need: 

a lime

a jalapeño...I only used a 1/3

cilantro

an avocado

a mango

half a red onion

half a cucumber

Everyone know how to cut a mango? If not, I'll do a tutorial on the best way to cut one! Leave a comment and I'll do it.

Chop up everything into  bit size pieces and squeeze half a lime over it and mix. Really very easy right?

Serve with grilled salmon that has been seasoned with salt and pepper.

YUM!

Enjoy!

salmon...cakes!

Salmon is a fantastic fish that graces the waters of Alaska. Last summer Andy and I had the opportunity to go down to the village Storman grew up in, and while we were there the Reds (sockeye) were running.  We helped can some of the fish and they gave us some to take home.

Now, whats a girl who grew up the Midwest to do with all the fish?

Well...use some of it for fantastic salmon dip....and then let it sit in her pantry.

Great use of good fish right?

not.

Well the other day I saw a recipe for salmon cakes....light bulb!

That's right, we've made salmon cakes twice in the last week and I think it is one of our favorite ways to eat canned salmon!

What did I put in them?

I put:

two jars of canned salmon

some minced onion

some minced garlic

Tbsp lemon or lime juice

Tbsp lite soy sauce

2 Tbsp grainy mustard

1 cup of Italian bread crumbs

2 eggs

Mix, and make into patties. Fry for 2-3 minutes a side.

Pair with homemade tarter sauce:

Mayo with chopped up dill pickles

Let it sit while you make your patties...it tastes better after you let it sit.

Serve with a salad...super healthy and tasty!

Enjoy!
