Salmon Cakes

Salmon cakes are one of the most delicious ways to use up leftover roasted salmon. Or you could roast a piece of salmon just to make these cakes. Either way, the rice flour in these cakes really helps to make them lighter and fluffier and the herbs add a fresh note. This mix can also be turned into a salmon burger by just making the patty larger.

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat salmon in olive oil, season with salt and black pepper. Roast the salmon skin side down, for 4 to 5 minutes or until medium rare. Cool, then flake the salmon into a large bowl.
Step 2
Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Add chopped herbs. Refrigerate mixture for 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
