I suggest you making double batches and freeze the salmon cakes after cooking, for a quick and easy meal on a busy day!

Serves 4
 
2 c  bread crumbs
2  eggs lightly beaten
1/2 c  minced scallion tops
1/2 c  finely chopped carrots
1/4 c  parmisean cheese
2 tsp  minced fresh dill
2 tsp  lemon juice
1/4 tsp  black pepper
1 12oz can salmon, drained
2 TBLS  butter
1 TBLS  oil
 

Carefully remove bones and skin from canned salmon.
 
Combine 1 1/2 c of breadcrumbs with eggs, scallons, carrots, cheese, dill, lemon juice and pepper.  Mix well.  add salmon, mix with hands, breaking salmon into pieces.  Shape into 4-5 inch patties, 1/2-3/4 inch thick.  Dredge cakes in remaining breadcrumbs, patting so they adhere.  In a frying pan, melt butter in oil, over medium heat.
 
Cook salmon cakes 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
 
Serve hot or room temperature.
 
These are great (made smaller) for appetizers, with a zesty dipping sauce.  They don't last long, so get them when they first hit the table!
 
If making more than 1 batch at a time, clean pan, and use fresh oil and butter for each batch so they don't get that burnt look from the remaing crumbs left frying in the pan between batches.
 
ENJOY!
