Salmon Croquette Medallions

I absolutely love weekend mornings when I can enjoy a leisurely breakfast/brunch. I tend to skip breakfast alot during the work week, because I don't like to eat in a hurry. This morning, I didn't really want a traditional breakfast, so I decided to make salmon croquettes. I'm going through a "small bites" phase, so I made them smaller than usual.

While on my little scavenger hunt in the fridge, I noticed some peanut sauce from a couple of weeks ago, a small piece of parmesan, half a red pepper and some green leaf lettuce headed towards the end of it's life and they all ended up in this morning's meal--Salmon Croquette Medallions Salad with Grated Parmesan and Peanut Sauce.

Don't you just detest it when you consider something to be fool-proof and you're proven wrong? This usually happens when I'm eating out and thinking I'm making safe menu selections. This happened to me at lunchtime today and man was I disappointed. I ordered a BLT Salmon Salad--fool-proof right?? Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. I feel that you have to work really, really hard to screw up a piece of salmon, but I was the recipient of such really, really hard work. It was an absolute disaster, it was overcooked and presented so poorly that I didn't even bother to taste it. I'm not one who gives second chances often, so I decided to just bypass lunch. I think I was more disappointed in the presentation than the overcooked state of the salmon. If I can't get past the looks, it doesn't get past my lips (cute huh?). I drank Diet Coke for lunch and looked forward to the two hour drive home to make my own salmon for dinner. I had a canister of McCormick's Cinnamon Chipotle Rub that I was curious to use and I'm so glad I chose to try it with salmon.
