To pair with the soup, I made Mini Salmon Cakes and was again inspired by the fresh spinach from my box. I tossed the spinach leaves with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Like in my previous post about making meatballs under the broiler, I decided to try these salmon cakes under the broiler. It was a snap! They didn't fall apart and held their shape!
