Tuna Cakes

We all know we need to eat more fish, but it gets boring. The same old fish and chips every week. So I decided to try something new. I call it, Tuna Cakes. I decided to use tuna, because it is high in omega 3 fatty acids. 

Omega 3 is such a wonderful supplement with great health benefits. It could lower cholesterol, reduce high blood pressure, ease joint pains, fight wrinkles, improve memory and could even boost your mood.

Ingredients:

200g mashed potatoes

2 tins of Tuna

1 egg

1 teaspoon parsley

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Pinch of Paprika (You could add more if you like hot food)

Salt to taste.

Method:

Add all the ingredients together, mix well.

Add about 5ml of olive oil in a very hot pan.

Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture into the pan and press down to flatten it slightly.

Leave it for about 3 minutes per side, or until it’s golden brown.

This mixture will make about 8 fish cakes.

I served these Tuna cakes with some sweet chilli sauce. You could serve this hot or cold, next time I might add a bit of spring onion to the mixture. Overall this is a healthy fun recipe, I hope you enjoy it!

Salmon Zuchini Pasta

It was off to lunch with one of my lovely friends, I wanted something tasty, easy and of course I wanted to treat my friend. What better way than to make a beautiful pasta dish with some delicious pieces of salmon?

Here’s what I did:

Salmon Zucchini Pasta

Ingredients:

100g Cooked Pasta (I usually mix whole-wheat and normal pasta)

500ml Plain Yoghurt

150g Zucchini (or baby marrow roughly chopped)

200g Salmon (roughly chopped)

Salt and pepper

Instruction:

·         Steam the baby marrow until almost cooked,

·         Add the Pasta and plain yoghurt to the zucchini and mix well,

·         Add the Salmon and cook over a low heat for about 5 minutes,

·         Lastly salt and pepper to taste.

Remember salmon does not need a long cooking time. I made a nice green salad with it, and viola a beautiful dish to treat my friend.

Happy cooking!
