A perfect complement to our Juicy <strong>Fertility</strong> Soup are these salmon<br />
croquettes – loaded with a host of powerful fertility boosters<br />
including omega 3, fibre and folic acid – all super nutrients for male<br />
and female fertility.<br />
Ingredients:<br />
• 1 can of salmon (8 oz)<br />
• ¼ cup sweet onion, finely grated<br />
• 2 tbsp minced basil or parsley<br />
• ¼ to ½ tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)<br />
• 2 large eggs, well beaten<br />
• 1 to 1½ cups ground whole wheat cracker crumbs<br />
or whole wheat bread crumbs<br />
• ¼ cup ground flax seeds.<br />
• 3 tbsp olive oil<br />
Directions:<br />
1. Drain the salmon and place in bowl, reserving liquid separately.<br />
Using a fork, separate or flake the fish. Mix in the grated onion,<br />
chopped basil or parsley and pepper; add two beaten eggs and<br />
blend until fish is moistened.<br />
2. Add ½ cup of ground cracker crumbs or bread crumbs and ¼<br />
cup of ground flax seed. Using your hands mix the crumbs into<br />
the salmon mixture until the consistency is thick enough to form<br />
patties. If too dry add reserved salmon liquid, two tablespoons at<br />
a time; if too wet add more crumbs. Place in the refrigerator 10<br />
minutes, to chill and set the mixture .<br />
3. Remove from refrigerator and roll mixture into balls, then flatten<br />
into patties. Coat each pattie with bread crumbs.<br />
4. In a skillet heat the olive oil until it sizzles; lower heat and add<br />
patties. When the edges of the patties start to turn brown, gently<br />
flip and brown two to three minutes.<br />
5. Serve warm with ketchup or tartar sauce made by blending two<br />
tablespoons of low-fat mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon of dill relish.<br />
Or top with grated cheese and onion mixture for a tangy taste.<br />
