BAKED SALMON CUPCAKES!
Oh, OK, They're Not Really Cupcakes, they're Salmon Cakes....
I eat a LOT of salmon, especially now the doctor found a heart blip in my EKG. So I'm always looking for ways to use the leftovers. I rarely eat a whole piece because it's so rich and, like my Mom used to say to me, my eyes are bigger than my stomach, lol.
Here's a great, easy way I found to use leftover salmon. Unlike the Salmon Spread I made with my leftover Baked Salmon with Blueberry Salsa, this one isn't loaded with cream cheese and sour cream....sigh. BUT the upside is these are freaking great! So great, in fact, that I plan to do them using un-leftover salmon - I'll just double the recipe! (Is un-leftover a word??)
Yes, I used Best Foods Light Mayonaisse in the sauce.....but if you don't have a blip you don't have to. And, yes, I ALWAYS use Best Foods aka Hellmans mayo, it's the best bottled mayo on the market! And no, they don't pay me to say that....but, if they'd like to send me free mayo.......(insert wink here)
