Spicy Salmon Corn Patties

I know all about how food affects our health. It’s clear that eating to reach and maintain a healthy weight is a fundamental part of the equation. Most of my recipes evolve around these methods. The most important message of maintaining a healthy weight is a message that we would all be well to hear. Fortunately, my recipes are very easy and moderate the fat content as is the one I will introduce today. Our body needs some fat; therefore, using some good oils and pan frying instead of deep frying is another way to add some fat to the meal. Two main ingredients in this recipe are salmon and corn, and both of them are very good sources of lean protein and fiber. I hope this recipe will be frequently appearing at breakfast or dinner in your house.
