6. Bacon-Wrapped Mini Salmon Cakes with Asparagus
These mini salmon cakes are sure to please because they’re wrapped in bacon. Most diet plans out there won’t allow you to wrap things in bacon, especially not a fish like salmon. But on Paleo you’re allowed reasonable portions of bacon, and they will definitely add a twist to salmon cakes that you don’t often see. These are served up with asparagus spears wrapped right into the bacon, so it’s like you’re getting the classic serving of salmon and asparagus with the added bonus of bacon.
