Simple Salmon Cakes

Simple and gorgeous. Helps with Omega 3 but don’t tell the kids. Simple Salmon Cakes only take 20 minutes to cook but are filling and tasty. Unlike some recipes, I use celery and onion to make it go further together with the breadcrumbs. This makes them economic but do not take away the taste. Serve as part of a main dish but also ideal in a bap with a little tartare sauce.
