Today was a beautiful fall day in MPLS, complete with colorful leaves, a perfect 56 degrees, and just enough sun to keep you warm but not hot. But as I was riding my bike this afternoon (a rare half day from work), it hit me. Winter is coming! Just like that, I began brainstorming the hearty but healthy recipes I hope to create over the next few months…
But until then, I think there’s time for one more light recipe, right?

Salmon Quinoa Patties
These patties are ideal for an easy weeknight meal, or on top of a salad for lunch. Make them ahead of time and freeze for a healthy dose of fish whenever you need it!

I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! My teenaged kids loved it. Next time I make it (and there will definitely be a next time!), I’ll add some chopped capers. I served it with a lemon mayo and some leftover fish taco sauce. Thanks for another great recipe.
