Friday Fish Dish – Salmon Cakes with Sweet Potato Chips
Mr. & Mrs. T suggest a salmon cakes for this evenings Friday Night’s Fish Dish. This salmon and ginger cake dish is quite easy to prepare. Even a singleton can attempt this meal with flare. Add some crispy sweet potato chips, store-bought or if adventurous, bring out the mandolin to make thick slices and oven roast. The aroma of roasting sweet potatoes make promise of a wonderful dine-in experience. Try pairing the salmon cakes with a cru Beaujolais, a light bodied, fruit juicy red with soft tannins [not to be confused with the celebratory harvest feast “la nouveau est arrivé”]. Make plans for Saturday morning. bon weekend How to Make Image via BBC Good Food
