Waffle Iron Salmon Cakes! 

I’ve never owned a waffle iron until today!

It is the one item that almost every newly married couple has from wedding gifts… but we somehow avoided this small kitchen appliance… until today! I am part of a free exchange group on Facebook. People can post items to give away or ask for items that other people may have that they aren’t using anymore.

So, I decided to ask for a waffle iron, because I wanted to start a mission to come up with multiple recipes that would use a waffle iron. Today is the start of my personal Waffle Mania! (Let’s get ready to rummmmmble!!!!)

I’m also going to introduce my first Trim 

Healthy Mama recipe – more info to come! Basically Trim Healthy Mama is a book that was written by two sisters who have compiled research of how to eat from all food groups and not gain weight. It is in the base a low glycemic diet with the added step of separating fat from carbs (your two main fuel sources). By keeping them separated, you don’t gain weight and actually LOSE weight! Isn’t that amazing?!? Well, more on that to come.

So this recipe is a satisfying (or S) meal using fat as it’s fuel source. It is low carb, wheat/gluten free, paleo.

Salmon cakes recipe (in a waffle iron): Serves 2

Once waffle iron is heated to medium heat, add all of your mixture and close lid. Mine took 4-5 minutes to cook.

Serve on bed of lettuce with feta and balsamic vinaigrette (or favorite dressing of choice). If following Trim Healthy Mama, this is an S meal.

Pros of using waffle iron: No need to flip salmon cakes. They also look pretty : )

Cons: My waffle iron isn’t as easy to clean, so a little harder to clean than my skillet.

  2. Awesome! I’m so glad you found me. We moved from Louisiana to Virginia 1.5 years ago, so I know a little about stress and that temporary status you are in until everything gets settled. Good luck with your new town! I’m also glad you were able to enter the giveaway. I’m so excited that I’m able to offer it to a reader. Thanks again for stopping by!

  4. […] Looking for an excuse to bust out the waffle iron? This is IT. Easy clean-up and minimal prep work make this savoury breakfast recipe suitable for any morning. These waffles don’t require the guesswork that a traditional dough does when you’re opting for gluten-free or grain-free flours, instead relying on salmon, eggs and coconut flour to do the trick. These will keep you fueled up and energised for those busy morning hours, and you could likely freeze them to keep handy for busy weeks. Get the recipe from Grassfed Mama. […]
