Salmon Cakes with Braised Slaw and Pace Picante SauceOne of the benefits of belonging to the Foodbuzz Featured Publishers is you get opportunities to join other fun stuff such as the Tastemaker program.
I was delighted to participate in the Pace Picante Sauce Tastemaker challenge and came up with this recipe that is quite unique I think.
The Pace Picante sauce for this recipe was provided to me for free from the Tastemaker partner Pace Picante sauce.
TIP: When you have made your salmon cakes in step 2, you can test a small spoonful in the hot skillet first to see if they will hold up. Temperature and humidity may affect the way the cakes stay together, so be sure to adjust the moisture or breadcrumb content if they are not sticking together. Too dry, add more egg or milk, too wet, add more breadcrumbs.

Wow do those salmon cakes look so flavorful and so delicious. I love the idea of using mashed potatoes in the salmon cakes. And the braised slaw sounds incredible.
