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.

Black pepper chicken

Once more, skip the vegetables and just eat the chicken on a day of pure protein and it is a fabulous dish.  For a vegetarian day of protein, go!  I know say this all the time, but this may be my favorite so far chicken dish.  I really, really liked it.  The remains can't wait for lunch today!

CHICKEN PEPPER BLACK

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
Oyster sauce 1 T
1 T soy sauce
t 2-pepper black ground
cornstarch t 1 mixed with 1 t water

Season chicken with salt and pepper.  Brown chicken in a pan grill on both sides for about 5 minutes, a bit of cooking spray.  Remove and set aside.  Add onion and bell pepper to the Pan and cook for 5 minutes.  Mix the wine, broth, oysters and soy sauces and pepper black together in a small bowl.  Pour the mixture into the grill pan and put the chicken in the pan.  Cook for 10 minutes, add cornstarch mixture to the Pan and cook for a further 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked perfectly.
