What's for dinner?

Salmon patties, roasted asparagus, and salad greens.

Ingredients

• Canned salmon, 1 can (418 grams)
• Green oinions, 2 chopped (14 grams)
• Egg, 1 (48 grams)
• Egg white, 1 (28 grams)
• Oatmeal, 1/2 cup (44 grams)
• Salt, 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL)
• Pepper, freshly ground, 1/8 tsp (.6 mL)

Preparation

Drain salmon and chop green onions.

Lightly beat egg and egg white together, add salt and pepper. Combine egg mixture with salmon, onions, and oatmeal.

Form into small patties (approximately 1 ounce in weight). Spray saute pan with non-stick spray, cook patties over medium heat. Cook until slightly golden and crispy.

Makes 15 patties.

Ingredients

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Snap or cut off tough ends of the asparagus.

On a cookie sheet, place the asparagus and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Arrange in one layer on the cookie sheet. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until thickest part is fork tender.

This isn't a fancy meal; to us it's comforting. It also happens to be a tasty way to get protein, calcium, fiber, iron and vitamin k in your day. We hope you give it a try. And if you've never roasted asparagus before, boy are you in for a treat.
