Salmon Cakes

Ever wonder what to do with left over Salmon? It is too expensive to throw away and it just doesn't taste as good the next day. Well, here is your solution!

1 ½ cups cooked salmon (perfect for using left-over salmon), flaked

1 scallion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 cups fresh bread crumbs

Salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

In a large bowl stir together salmon, scallion, and parsley. In separate bowl combine the mustard and mayo and season with salt and pepper. Add the mayo mixture to the salmon mixture and gently stir. Add ½ cup of breadcrumbs to help bind cakes. Shape into 4-6 cakes, and chill for one hour. Dip cakes in remaining breadcrumbs. Heat oil in non-stick skillet and cook cakes on each side until golden brown. Serve over mixed greens with lemon vinaigrette.
