Looking for some good southern cooking? Check out the Sweet Tea Diner at the intersection of Nolensville Rd and Old Hickory Blvd. This is a great meat and three spot. The interior is painted in muted sage green and the lighting is warm but cozy without being dim. Walking in the Sweet Tea Diner makes you feel like you’re in someone’s home. The prices are extremely reasonable, ranging from $2.99 to $9.99. The special today was all you can eat catfish with 3 sides for $8.99. My favorite dishes are fried catfish and fried chicken. There is a large selection of sides and main dishes that are well seasoned and taste fresh when they arrive at your table.

Growing up salmon cakes were a staple in my home. My parents would fix them for breakfast at least once a month. I have to admit, I never liked them because of the overwhelming taste of canned salmon. My husband and I love salmon but it can get boring so I decided to put my spin on salmon cakes using fresh salmon. I baked a piece of salmon with a little Lawry’s season salt just until it was done. Be careful not to overcook the salmon or your cakes will be dry. For the crackers, I used Town House low sodium crackers. If you’re really adventurous, substitute the jalapenos for habaneros.
2 cups cooked flaked salmon
¼ cup finely diced onion
¼ cup finely diced celery
2 tablespoon diced cilantro
1 egg (well beaten)
½ crushed cracker crumbs (Town House)
1 tablespoon diced jalapenos
Salt pepper
1. Put onion, celery, and jalapenos in a microwave safe cup with 1 teaspoon of water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. Let cool.
2. Combine salmon,cooled onion mixture,egg,cracker crumbs,and cilantro. Mix all ingredients well.
3. Salt and pepper to taste.
4. Heat skillet on medium heat. Cook cakes 3 or 4 minutes on each side.
