Salmon Patties with Red Pepper Sauce

Salmon Patties with Red Pepper Sauce

Skip the sauce if you’re looking for a Dukan Diet recipe for the Attack phase or Pure Protein day.  These were delicious.  I used fresh salmon but it’s not necessary.  They’re awesome by themselves or with the sauce.  And the sauce would be fabulous on lots of things!  I may try roasting chicken in the leftover sauce I have!

SALMON PATTIES WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE

1 can salmon, drained well or 1/2 lb fresh salmon, finely chopped
1 egg, whisked well with a fork
1/4 cup oat bran
2 T onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely minced
salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and form two patties.  Grill in a grill pan with a bit of cooking spray for 5-6 minutes per side.  Serve with sauce

FOR THE SAUCE

1 jar of roasted red peppers
1 eggplant, cubed
1 small onion, chopped
3 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 T tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 T dried parsley
salt and pepper

In a saucepan add all the ingredients plus a half a cup of water.  Cook, covered, over low head for 45 minutes or until all vegetables are soft (you may have to add water if sauce gets too thick).  Remove from heat and let cook for 20 minutes.  Lightly chop the sauce in a food processor until sauce is chunky.  Reheat or serve at room temperature over salmon.
