This is a great recipe to make with the kids – they love mixing and rolling it into little balls ready for cooking! Plus it is packed with brain boosting nutrients – omega 3 from the salmon, choline from the eggs, vitamin E from the green leafy veg, vitamin B2 from the quinoa.
While your quinoa is cooking, line a baking tray with foil and place the salmon fillets on, drizzle with a little oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven for 12 mins or until the salmon is just cooked through. Leave out to cool
In a large bowl mix together the spring onions, spinach, basil, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and paprika. Then flake in the cooled salmon and add the cooled quinoa
Using your hands form the mixture into golf ball sized balls and squash into patties, place on a plate
Fun fact! Quinoa is high in protein and one of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids. It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B-vitamins, iron;potassium, calcium, phosphorus and antioxidants…that’s why they call it a super food!
