Salmon Herb Cakes

I recently found a really good deal on wild-caught salmon from Alaska that was bone and skin free and canned for preservation. I really love salmon, and white fish... even though I am not much of a seafood fan. Yet, with all the recent news about farmed fish, and even more pollution getting into the fresh fish waters... it is a bit disheartening. Well, disheartening for a few reasons. It is sad that we are so careless now days that we allow pollution to disrupt natural habitats and have to create "farmed-fish" unnaturally with chemicals. And then also disturbing because if you are a fish eater it is becoming harder to find wild and healthy fish to eat. So for those reasons I was excited to find some wild canned salmon that had nothing added to it and was ready for eating. The first thing I wanted to make was salmon cakes.... so that is why I am sharing this recipe today.
If you are trying to eat less meat, or at least get more creative with eating healthier meat, then I would suggest trying to add some fresh (or canned) wild salmon to the diet. You hear it all the time about how fish is full of good fats and oils like the Omega 3's and Essential Fatty Acids... and this is very true. It is a great source of these oils to help your brain and other organs run smoothly and stay strong. The best source of these oils is from wild caught fish. Farmed fish are like GMO foods with destructive heavy metals that can spread to your body when consumed. So if you can find fresh/frozen or canned wild caught salmon, then you have found a good source to buy from.
Maybe you are trying to eat less meat this Lenten season, or at least trying to eat only fish on Friday's. This may be a great recipe to try at home and enjoy with a little homemade tartar sauce. What do you say? Let's make some salmon cakes... or burgers if you prefer...
