Bacon Wrapped Salmon Cakes

Delicious bacon-wrapped salmon cakes are a great way to make canned salmon delicious and fancy.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of wild caught fresh, frozen or 2 cans wild caught salmon
• 1 package of bacon
• ¼ cup very finely diced onion
• ¼ cup very finely diced bell pepper (optional)
• 2 minced garlic cloves or garlic powder
• 3 T parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp mustard (Dijon is best)
• Spices of choice (I use salt, pepper, garlic, and herb blend)
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 2 yellow squash or zucchini
• 1 onion 

 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cook salmon in skillet (heat canned salmon if using to cook off the juice) You want it to be flaky and have no extra juice
3. Let salmon cool while dicing onion, garlic, bell pepper, etc.
4. Mix cooled salmon with onion, bell pepper, garlic, parmesan, egg, mustard and spices to make a thick mixture
5.  Cut bacon  slices in half. Lay bacon slices on buttered cookie sheet with rim. Use  your hand to scoop about ¼ cup of salmon mixture and roll into a ball.  Wrap the bacon around the salmon and pin with toothpick (not necessary,  but makes eating easier
6. Place on cookie sheet and repeat until all salmon mixture is used up
7. Place into oven and cook about 15-20 minutes until cooked through and until bacon is crisp
8. While  those are cooking, sauté peeled and sliced squash/zucchini and onion  into skillet with butter and spices and cook until soft
9. Boil  asparagus for 2-3 minutes, remove from water and sauté with butter and  spices (garlic and salt) in same skillet (get squash mix out first) for 1  minute or so
