The first Friday of every month I blog about Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa. I do this with a great group of blogger friends who also love Ina and her cooking. If you scroll down after the recipe you will see a list of all of them.
Last month was Soup Salad and Sides. I did not participate because I was busy getting ready for Brunchweek. So I made and photographed Arugula, watermelon and feta salad. Dummy me thought that this month was Soup Salads and Sides.
To make a long story short, I scrambled and managed to make these Salmon Cakes with stuff I had in the pantry.
I got the pictures done in the nick of time too. It was starting to get dark and to be honest, I thought It would not work.
So I will save the photos and post of the arugula salad for the next Soup Salad and Sides on InaFriday. If you look close you can get a sneak peek of it. I also plated a bit of it on the back end of the Salmon Cakes.
For right now, I made this yummy summer main dish with Salmon.
I hope you enjoy this as much as my family did.
