Easy Air Fryer Salmon Cakes

Healthy Salmon Cakes are not your mother’s salmon cakes. They have been updated with delicious ingredients like sauteed onions and peppers as well as fresh herbs. Then they are air fried so the outside is crispy and the inside stays luscious and moist!

Serve these salmon cakes with homemade tartar sauce that takes minutes to whip up.

You can cook them in an air fryer or in the oven or in a skillet on the stovetop! If you make one 30-minute recipe this should be it!

Instant Pot Wild Rice Soup

Lindsay says…

“The BEST Wild Rice Soup – in the Instant Pot! So creamy and simple and ready in an hour. Perfect for fall/winter nights!“

We are huge soup lovers any time of the year! I’m making this soup for dinner this week and eating the leftovers for lunch! The combination of rice and mushrooms sounds so so delicious! Make this heartier with shredded rotisserie chicken,

Maryland Crab Cake With Little Filler

Sally says…

“These Maryland crab cakes get the stamp of approval from locals and out-of-towners alike. This classic lump crab cake recipe combines the flavors of lemon, parsley, and Old Bay Seasoning but the most flavor is from the crab meat itself

. For the best texture, use lump crab meat, little filler, and bake the cakes in a very hot oven.“

I am a huge fan of these crab cakes! They are so easy to make and family and company worthy! This is a fabulous one-pot meal!

Thanks, Sally from Sally’s Baking Recipes.

Chicken Lo Mein (Chinese Noodles)

Blair says…

“With a simple, flavorful 3-ingredient sauce, tender stir-fried chicken, and plenty of colorful vegetables, this easy Chicken Lo Mein recipe is a perfect 30-minute meal! Kids love the homemade Chinese noodles served alongside egg rolls, dumplings, or extra steamed broccoli. Best of all, you don’t need any fancy, hard-to-find ingredients to pull together this quick weeknight dinner that’s better than takeout!”

I think this is such a versatile recipe. Make it with shrimp or beef! This recipe is a healthy dinner.

Thanks, Blair from The Seasoned Mom.

Beef Goulash

Ingrid says…

“Beef goulash is a cozy, rustic stew filled with chunks of tender beef, savory vegetables, and fragrant spices such as paprika, ground caraway seeds, and bay leaf. It is one of my family’s favorite cold weather comfort foods, and absolutely delicious served over egg noodles or mashed potatoes!“

I adore beef goulash! And making it in 30 minutes is like a dream come true! To give this recipe a bit of fresh flavor sprinkle fresh herbs or green onions over the top of it. I’ll serve my goulash over pasta.

Thanks, Ingrid from The Cozy Apron.

One Pot Creamy Orzo With Chicken Sausage

Chiou came up with this delicious recipe featuring orzo, chicken sausage, veggies, and a splash of heavy cream. And it can be made in one pot!

Like many 30-minute meals, it is a very versatile recipe! Change the veggies from zucchini to spinach and add a splash of coconut milk in place of heavy cream! And if you have pork sausage on hand instead of chicken, that’s okay too!

I’m excited to try this delicious bowl dinner from Table For Two.
