We recently went to the REI members event where they had a few finger
foods and one of them were these yummy looking tiny crab cakes that
were out of the world..So I came back home totally wanting to make
something similar..I dint have crab at home but had some left over
salmon from making fish puttu the other day. So I decided to make salmon
cakes instead..

Lemon juice - 1 Tbsp
Salt - 1 pinch
Pepper - 1 pinch
Capers - 1 Tbsp (optional)
Method:
- Roast salmon in very little oil in a flat pan until completely cooked and slightly golden on both sides. Remove from pan, cool and shred into small pieces once cooled.
- In the same pan, add butter, 1/2 tbsp of olive oil and add the onions and bell peppers, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder and all the seasonings, salt, pepper and let it cook until soft and slightly golden. Once done, remove from heat and let cool.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together salmon, onion mixture, beaten eggs, bread crumbs and Mayo. Adjust seasonings per taste if need be.
- Heat in low flame about a tbsp of olive oil in a flat pan or griddle.
- Take equal amounts of the mixture (I used an ice cream scoop for this) and make them into balls and then flatten them out a little like biscuits about 3-4 inches in diameter and place them in the oil one by one.
- Slowly brown both sides of the cake until completely firm and well done.
- Remove from heat and serve hot with garlic lemon aioli dip or tartar sauce.
- For the dip, mix all the ingredients together and adjust seasoning.
