Yesterday I wrote about the importance of pregnant and nursing Hot Mamas to get enough DHA. Today, I have a delicious recipe for Salmon Cakes that are easy to make, delicious, rich in DHA omega 3, and won't pack on any extra pounds. In fact, if you are a Hot Mama trying to lose a little baby fat, this is a great low-calorie, nutrient dense meal for you also.
Sweet Potato Salmon Cakes
8 oz. canned salmon (preferably wild) (can be bought at cosco and whole foods)
2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and steamed for 30 minutes) Mash when done
1 medium onion and 2 cloves of garlic sauté in 1 tbl. Olive Oil
¼ cup whole wheat bread crumbs (Whole Foods)
3 egg whites
½ cup fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients. Form salmon cakes into flat patties, approximately 3 inches in diameter. Cook in a non-stick pan until golden brown.
