SALMON CAKES WITH LEMON HERB SAUCE



Salmon Cakes With Lemon Herb Sauce image

These salmon cakes are super easy to make and quite savory. I just looked on the back of the Chicken of the Sea Pink Salmon package and saw the recipe. I had all the other ingredients around the house...a real plus. I replaced the horseradish with spicy brown mustard because that's what I had. The cakes are extremely flavorful alone--the sauce just adds to it. Enjoy.
