I’ve been making these salmon cakes forever! They’re just so simple, so convenient, so undeniably DELICIOUS! When I was diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease this was one of the first recipes I adapted to fit my sodium restriction. And thanks to Healthy Heart Market, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods Market and others, you can buy canned salt free salmon without difficulty or tremendous expense. Delicately crisp outside and flavorfully moist inside, these salmon cakes are a real treat for a special occasion, or anytime!
