Easy Tuna or Salmon Cakes Recipes

1 foil packet or can of pink salmon or chunk light tuna

1 egg

6 saltine crackers- crushed (or 4 for optional directions)

ground black pepper to taste

(optional) 2 tablespoons of cooked bulgur wheat

Mix together, and let set several minutes (you want the egg to soften the crackers). If following optional directions, add the cooked bulgur now.

Lightly grease frying pan with butter, margerine, olive oil, or non-stick spray.

Divide into 4 or 5 patties, and fry gently, turning once.

>> In most recipes that call for tuna or salmon, one can be replaced with the other.

>>Wild salmon is healthier than farmed salmon as wild salmon contains higher amounts of healthy Omega 3s and farmed salmon is higher in Omega 6.

>>Pregnant women need two to three servings of fish per week, but should limit their intake of tuna due to high amounts of mercury in some types of tuna.

>>Fresh tuna is a great source of Omega 3s, but canned tuna is not.

Did you know that 25% of any proceeds from this lens goes to Food For Everyone, a charity that teaches families how to grow more food in less space using less water. This benefits the recipients in healthful foods and economically. Not only do they provide enough food for themselves, but often have an abundance left over that can be given away or sold!

Well, that really depends on your point of view. Tuna and salmon are both healthy fish, both are a low cal alternative to meats like steak or pork but are still "meaty" enough to satisfy most carnivores. Adding diced onion or shredded carrot (or both) to the mix will boost the nutritional value of the tuna cakes, as will my suggestion of adding bulgar wheat. However, the crackers are carb heavy without adding any nutritional value, and the eggs are debatable (my research shows that eggs are very healthy, but others may argue). So, yes, I consider this to be a healthy entree or even snack, but I wouldn't recommend that someone use it when trying the 3 day tuna diet or similar.
