Go for an easy Hot Lunch instead of a cold sandwich with Bumble Bee Salmon

Do you prefer a hot or cold lunch?

Lunch, when I am working at home is typically a cold sandwich or salad. Sometimes, I heat up soup.

Today, however, we had some leftover cous cous and green beans, but nothing warm to go with it.

Then I found the Bumble Bee Salmon can from my #BeeSquad package and thought I'd try and make some salmon cakes that didn't require baking. When I'm ready for lunch I'm READY for lunch, you know what I mean?

Here's what I did and it turned out PERFECT (for me anyway):

1. empty contents of Bumble Bee Prime Fillet Atlantic Salmon into a bowl and add a spoonful or two of mayo (instead of egg so it doesn't have to be baked to be cooked through)

2. add bread crumbs (I used slightly seasoned Panko style which are lighter in flavor) and form into patties. Place patties in hot skillet with oil already heated through.

 

 3. Once browned on both sides, cover with a lid and turn heat to low to heat the patties (again, for temp only since there's no raw egg).

Serve with last night's leftover cous cous and greenbeans!

This was EASY and QUICK and was deeelicious. I might squirt lemon juice if I had some but the mayo made the salmon cakes a little creamy which gave it enough flavor for me.

Easy Bagel and Lox Featuring Bumble Bee Salmon

Yesterday morning I was craving bagels and lox.

I love the salty taste of smoked salmon against cool cream cheese and the tang of a nice, thin slice of onion. Mmmmm, Sunday morning at it's best.

But alas, I had no bagel and no lox. I did, however these ingredients:

Cream cheese

Packaged Salmon like Bumble Bee Wild Pink Salmon

Tomato

Arnold's Select Sandwich Thins

Sliced Onion

Was this enough to cure my bagel and lox craving?

The sandwich thins toasted nicely, and the salmon was not as salty as real lox, but had good flavor and filled me up.

Where did I decide to get so adventurous? A friend of mine was a member of the Bee Squad and brought me along to a party Bumble Bee hosted at BlogHer this year. <-- If you didn't click on that link you might want to. Yes, I really did make that face. Yes, Chef Scott made tuna taste that good.

Have you thrown together a substitue for something you were craving?
