Mixed Greens with Salmon Cakes and Mango Avocado Salsa


Do you want something easy to make and impressive. Try this as an easy any day of the night dinner. This would also be excellent as a lunch option too. It is easy and makes a pretty presentation. You can dress your salad greens with any type of dressing you would like. I used what I had on hand which was a Santa Fe dressing. It went great with the salsa.

store purchased Crab Cakes
mixed greens
salad dressing of your choice (I used santa fe dressing)
olive oil
1 mango, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
3 green onions, sliced
1 avocado, diced
1 tbsp lime juice
salt and pepper for seasoning

Drizzle non-stick sauté pan with olive oil. Heat over medium high heat. Sauté and brown both sides of the salmon cake until you have a nice crust on both sides.

While salmon cakes are browning. In a medium bowl, toss together mango, green onions, bell pepper, avocado and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and tossing again to coat.

Once salmon cakes are done, let rest on a paper towel covered plate to help absorb any excess oils.

In a separate medium bowl, toss mixed greens with dressing. Tip, do not dress mixed greens until you are ready to plate. If you dress too soon, the greens will become soggy and wilted.

Plate salad and top with salmon cakes (however you would like to serve per person, I served 2 cakes per person) and finish with salsa.

Serve and ENJOY!!!!!

Wine pairing.......Chardonnay.
