Salmon Cakes

When you are craving crab cakes, but the budget doesn’t allow it what’s a girl to do? Salmon cakes! This recipe uses wild caught canned Alaskan salmon so it’s super budget friendly.

We all know we are supposed to eat fish several times a week and that we should only eat wild caught salmon so this recipe is an excellent way to accomplish that.

My personal preference is to only eat wild caught Alaskan salmon, not labeled Atlantic as it is farmed, and not labeled farmed.

Arrange tomato, garlic, and onion on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and liberally salt and pepper. Roast in a 350 degree oven for approximately thirty minutes.
