Recipe Tips
As variations, spice quinoa salmon cakes with 1 tbsp jerk, Cajun or taco seasoning blend.
To make homemade mango salsa, combine 1 cup diced mango, 1/4 cup diced red bell peppers, 1/4 cup diced red onion, 1/4 cup lime juice and 1/2 tsp salt.
Use a 3-inch cookie cutter as a mold to make perfect rounds.
