Simple Salmon Cakes

These salmon cakes are a simple meal made in minutes.  The good news is you only need 5 ingredients.  This dish is a great way to use up leftover salmon fillets.  You can also make this with canned salmon if fresh is not available or too expensive.  I like to serve my salmon cakes with a dollop of creme fraiche and a light green salad, maybe arugula tossed in lemon juice and olive oil.
