Love salmon cakes. Served with creamed peas. Yumm This is the recipe I use.

2 strips bacon, cooked until crispy, crumbled, bacon fat reserved
1/4 cup chopped onion, 1 egg, 1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 lemon, zested, 1 pound salmon, cut into small pieces
1 baked or boiled russet potato, peeled, and fluffed with a fork
1/4 cup bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Freshly ground black pepper, 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon fat in a small saute pan over low heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Cool the onions for a bit.

Mix the bacon, onion, egg, mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl. Add the salmon and potato, mixing gently after each addition. Form the mixture into 12 small patties. In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, and pepper, to taste. Coat the patties in the bread crumb topping. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat, and cook the salmon cakes in batches until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add more oil, as necessary. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
