About This Recipe:
I absolutely love crab cakes, but they are not that common at restaurants, and my local supermarket does not sell fresh crab meat. So I figured I would try making “crab cakes” out of salmon, and they were amazing! These are a new, fun, & healthy way to eat salmon. The pickle-y and brine-y tartar sauce pairs perfectly with the salmon cakes, and of course, there must be tons of lemon on the side. You can serve these on top of a salad, or with potatoes and asparagus for dinner.
Enjoy!
