I am always looking for innovative ways to prepare proteins. Salmon “cakes” are becoming increasingly popular so I thought I would try my hand at a recipe. Salmon offers high biological value protein, which we know is important for our hair, nails, tissue repair and needed to make important enzymes and hormones. This is an easy way to prepare this popular protein and showcase it in a way that screams “fall”. Enjoy!
Nutrition:
Salmon: Salmon is one of my favorite proteins chock-full of precious vitamins like B12, vitamin D and selenium all intimately linked to brain, bone and thyroid health, respectively.
Parsley: This popular herb is a vitamin K powerhouse. Beyond blood clotting, vitamin K is recognized for its role in maintaining bone health and keeping arteries free from calcification. K2 from fermented and animal-based foods is primarily regarded for these effects but K1 from plant-based foods need not be discounted.
