Tonight's dinner was a repeat from last week.  It was that good.  The recipe was from Paleo Lunches and Breakfasts on the Go   Contrary to what the title implies, many of the recipes are not quick and easy due to the number of ingredients.  So far, however taking a bit of extra time and making them for dinner has broadened our palates and brought life back to some same old, same old dishes like salmon patties. 

I made a couple substitutions.  Leftover spaghetti squash subbed for zucchini. We used dried fennel.  We also used canned salmon from Costco which has got to be the least fishy fish we have ever had. Coupled with the citrus and herbs it made for a no-bribe dinner.  Mostly anyway. The seven year old fussy eater passed, which thrilled the nine year old who ate both plates. 

Salmon Zucchini Sliders

2c shredded zucchini

1/2 tsp salt

1lb wild salmon

2T chopped fennel

1/2 lemon juiced

1c basil chopped

—————–

2T fennel fronds

1 egg

1/4 tsp cayenne

2 scallions

1tsp mustard powder

1/4 tsp pepper

1T oil for frying

Grate the zucchini, salt, and sit in bowl to extract liquid for half hour, then pat dry.  Recipe calls for pureeingthe first set of ingredients.   If you're me you may want to just mash the whole thing.  Then make small 2T clumps and fry til light brown.
