Happy Tuesday I hope you are enjoying this amazing month of July.  The weather here in Cincinnati has been wet, but oh so cool with only a handful of sticky hot days.

I got to go on a nice long bike ride with my girl Tami last week and we enjoyed every sunny cool moment of it.  Tami has an adorable little Maltipoo named Charlie who rode in a basket on the front of her bike and we got tons of oohs and ahhs as we passed other bikers and Charlie got lots of treats when we stopped for lunch.

Later when I was home thinking of what to do for dinner, salmon was in the fridge but I was craving crab cakes.

Usually, I’ll put salmon on a baking sheet top it with some herbs and citrus juice, and bake it for dinner. I decided to get creative with my piece of salmon and come up with something a bit more uncommon and unique, but… not.  I mean we have all heard of crab cakes and most of us have eaten them and love them. So, I thought why not make some salmon cakes and better yet, make them paleo.

Are you a crab cake fan?  Well if the answer is yes, you are going to be loving all over this recipe! LOVING!

Baked and Flaked Salmon smashed together with sautéed veggies, and spices quickly fried and then topped with mashed avocado. Damn good stuff!  Damn good for you too.  Food to fuel your body so you are a mean lean fighting machine.  Salmon is rich in protein and healthy fats, it’s good for your health, and it tastes delicious.

Bonus they are ready to gobble up lickity split.  Perfect served alongside a fresh garden salad for the perfect light and healthy dinner.

    These are so very much my cup of tea. I love the way you described the lean mean results of eating them. Lol. And that totally makes me want to make them all the more.

    Salmon is my favorite fish. I usually season it (lately it’s been with blackened seasoning) and then we grill it. I love that you stepped outside of the box and made salmon cakes with your piece of salmon. Great idea, Amy!

      Thanks Julie. Its always nice to mix it up a bit. Salmon is our families favorite fish so we eat a lot of it, and this was a huge hit with everyone.

    Do you think it would turn out if I substituted coconut flour for almond flour? Just found out I can’t have almonds or gluten. Thanks!

      Hey Renee, I think you should be fine using almond flour.

    Absolutely fabulous! I didn’t have a fresh bell pepper (winter right now) so I used my canned roasted red’s which was delightful. I seriously love this recipe!! Thank you so much for putting it out there:)
