I usually poach salmon first in order to make salmon cakes….. That’s exactly what I’m doing.  Here is part one of a simple two day process. Day one is just for poaching…. honestly if you want to quit right here and just have your poached salmon it will be delicious. If not, flake salmon to make your cakes!

Ingredients for salmon:

1 – pound wild Alaskan salmon

1 – tablespoon chopped ginger

1 – tablespoon chopped garlic

2 1/2 – cups orange juice

1 – teaspoon sriracha hot chili sauce

1 – tablespoon soy sauce

1 – tablespoon vinegar

 Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.

In a baking dish add in all ingredients and mix to combine. Then cover baking dish with a piece of aluminum foil and place in oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Perfectly poached.

Refrigerate for one day to make salmon cakes, or enjoy immediately for a healthy dinner served with veggies or salad.
