Salmon Cakes

Salmon cakes are always a special treat! We wanted to create a recipe that was easy to prep and even easier to cook, and oh my goodness, is it delicious! Our original recipe is pretty standard, but we have outlined additional ingredients you can add to spice it up a bit if you are feeling fancy.
Salmon cakes are amazing on their own, but you can certainly pair them with other dishes, and they will be just as good. We love to make a nice dipping sauce, but lemon on top works great too. Our favorite things to have with salmon cakes are a hearty salad, soup, delicious bread, or a yummy potato dish.
Whatever combination you add to your salmon cakes and whatever you pair them with, we know you will love them as much as we do!
