My family is not big on eating fish, but they always seem to enjoy these easy to make salmon cakes. I have made these for years now. I think I pulled it from an Chicken By the Sea advertisement in a magazine. They are delicious. I hope you try them sometime. The recipe for sauce is also listed, but I often serve them with store bought tartar sauce and a cucumber tomato salad on the side (Chopped and seeded cucumbers mixed with sliced tomatoes and dressed with bottled Ranch Dressing).
