Simple Salmon Cakes Recipe

Crab cakes are a popular dish, but not always practical or affordable. This quick and easy recipe uses canned salmon and other ingredients that can be kept on hand for preparation on busy days. This is an easy and inexpensive way to reel in omega-3s, fish fat with anti-inflammatory properties that also may help fight heart disease. Add even more benefits to this simple dish by serving it with a side of salad.
