lemon tarragon salmon patties~healthy low fat, low carb and tasty!
I made these yesterday for my official entry into the Saucy Mama Kinny Mama recipe contest. There will be a public voting portion; so please bear with me the next few days as I narcissistically pimp myself out.I’ll do my best to keep it subtle.
A subtle narcissist?
Hmmm… hey.. I have a giveaway! Keep reading…
I made a bunch of theses & now I have my freezer stocked with quick and healthy meals. Woo~hoo to that. It’s also brain food with all the good EFAs in there, so not only will I feel healthier when I eat them, I’ll get smarter, too. 
These are as easy as meat loaf to make, also. The patties are made by gently pulsing- wait is there such thing as a gentle pulse in a FOOD PROCESSOR?
Let me re=phrase: A quick pulse in the food processor, add a egg , then stir in your mustard and seasonings. There aren’t too many seasonings because the lemon tarragon mustard does that job. I made a little sauce to go along with it that has the same mustard, and it’s mixed with yogurt. You can use Greek or American yogurt; it just depends on your preference for thickness.
So, this is my official entry. Do you like it? I know you’re probably wondering the prize, right? It’s a $500 cash prize and a $500 Spa Finder gift certificate.
I’ll be honest: I’m not a “spa” person. My idea of a mud treatment involves gardening and my idea of foot exfoliation involves running barefoot on the beach. But, hey… I’m open to trying new things. Heck, maybe I’ll spend the $500 on some tiny dog that can wear bows in her hair and then I’ll have a spa day with Foo-Foo.
Nah, I have other plans for that $500 if I win it, involving a portion of tuition.
So, the deadline is today… which happens to be my birthday (yay me!) maybe that’s a good sign.
By the way, if you’d like to try the mustard, please leave a comment at the end of this post.
Winner will be chosen at random March 7th, 2012. US peeps only, please.

i am very interested in the mustard… i love the combination of tarragon and mustard with salmon! I usually cook my salmon as steaks, and fear pulsing a perfect piece to make a patty, but this recipe is tempting!!
This looks delicious! Hope you win and Happy Birthday!!
I’ve been enjoying your blog for a few months now. Glad I came across it.
The mustard is something I’d love to try.
Know that I will thoroughly enjoy this also on salmon steaks or filets as well as patties cooked on the flame, on the grill, or in the oven it is going into my ‘use this recipe’ file. It will definitely be the go to recipe. I would love to try the mustard with the salmon. Thank you and good luck.
P:S: Happy Birthday!
My daughter and I love trying new things and the lemon-tarragon mustard would be something new for us. I would actually love to try it with your salmon patties and a baked fish that I make quite a bit.
Happy Birthday!
