These awesome little nuggets only take around 30 minutes to prepare and will wow everybody around your dinner table. Salmon and prawns are already healthy in and of themselves, but adding grated carrot gives them an extra vitamin boost. And let's be honest - adding vegetables to everything is always a good idea! (Except maybe if you are an eight-year-old who has decided to hate everything that has roots. In this case - mothers, hiding the fact that there are vegetables hidden in the food is completely okay).
I decided to make the cakes slightly Asian today by adding ginger, chili and coriander leaves. But feel free to leave these out and keep the cakes "plain" if you are not a fan of Asian flavors.
Know your ingredient
Salmon is a popular fish known for its high omega-3 content. It also contains many other necessary nutrients - Vitamin D, for example. Some of the health benefits it provides include boosting brain function, improving bone health, enhancing eyesight and optimizing skin health. The most nutritious salmon is the wild variety. So if you have a choice, always go for the wild-caught instead of the farmed. The wild one, of course, is typically pricier than the farmed version. But with recipes like these salmon prawn cakes, you can use a smaller amount of quality protein, pack the meal full of budget-friendly healthy veggies, and have a balanced meal with a reasonable price.
