What to do with leftover salmon?

Fish cakes on top of gorditas

1. Take leftover salmon and mix in food processor (or by hand, if you are old-school) with some chopped onion and 1-2 eggs, depending on how much salmon you have;
2. Form fish cakes into little patties by hand;
3. Fry in pan or on skillet with a little bit of oil.

Gorditas:
1. Mix corn masa with one teaspoon salt and enough water to make a dough that is easy to handle;
2. Form little gorditas (like fat little tortillas) by hand, making sure not to make them too thick;
3. Cook on a comal or a skillet until they are light brown on both sides.

Assemble dish by first placing gordita on a plate, than placing the fish cake on top. Put some shredded cheese on top (preferably something that melts well), and garnish with any of the following: chipotle sour cream sauce, shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, or fresh salsa.
