This meal is so delicious! I love the lemon vinaigrette and end up pouring some on my rice too.
1 1/2 c. salmon, flaked
2 tbsp. parsley
3 tbsp. mayo
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp. dijon
2 c. fresh bread crumbs, divided

In a small bowl stir together salmon, scallion and parsley. In separate bowl combine mustard & mayo. Season with S & P. Add mayo mixture to salmon mixture and stir together. Add 1/2 c. of the breadcrumbs to bind togehter.
Shape into cakes and chill for 1 hour (I don't always do that!). Dip cakes in remaining crumbs. Heat oil in skillet and cook cakes on each side until golden brown. Drizzel with lemon vinaigrette.

3 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. honey
1 clove of garlic, crushed

Pasta W/ Shrimp
This is my version of a recipe I found online while looking for something light and tasty to make for dinner. I added way more veggies and changed a few other things. It's a hit around here!
Jen
1/2 lb. shrimp, tails off, deveined
8 oz. pasta (I use whole wheat spaghettini)
2 garlic cloves
1/3 c. red onion, cut into bit size pieces
1/2 c. zucchini, cut into bit size pieces
1/2 c. red pepper, bite size pieces
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. dry white wine
1 tomato, chopped
S & P to taste
Boil water for pasta with 1 tsp salt & olive oil.
Oil non-stick skillet. Warm pan.
Add shrimp, garlic, onion, zucchini, pepper and cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes or until veggies are tender but crisp.
Add tomatoes, salt, basil, lemon juice & white wine. Stir for another 2-3 minutes until well mixed and warmed thoroughly.
