Herbed Salmon Cakes (Hara Bhara Fish Cutlets)

Salmon cutlets
In our family, we do have some differences when it comes to food preferences…but there is one thing that we all have in common and that’s our love for seafood!  Oh boy, I am so glad that our kids have both developed a palate for fish just like my husband and I. We love our seafood in any form – spicy like our Kerala style fish curry or fish fry, in sushi rolls, baked asian style or  dipped in chickpea batter and fried! So tasty! Last week, I decided to make some fish cutlets using salmon. I had lot of fresh mint from my garden. So I decided to do a herbed fish cutlet (cake) also adding some red bell peppers to the mix.

These cakes are gluten free and whole30/paleo.

Hara Bhara Fish cutlets
The cakes turned out so good – the fresh mint and cilantro combined with the red peppers gave it a lot of freshness and the crispy coating made them irresistible. So I named them ‘Hara Bhara’ or ‘full of green’ cutlets 🙂  I ate them with a salad on the side.
