Ingredients

FOR THE LEMON DILL AIOLI

3/4 cup mayo
2 - 4 tbsp fresh dill chopped
1 garlic clove minced
1 - 2 tbsp lemon juice

FOR THE SALMON CAKES

1 cup mashed potatoes
2 cups salmon canned or cooked
3/4 cup sun dried tomatoes chopped
1/4 cup green onion chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup fresh dill
1 large egg beaten
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive or avocado oil for cooking

Instructions

MAKE THE SAUCE

Mix all the lemon dill aioli ingredients in a bowl. Cover and chill in the fridge till your ready to use it.

MAKE THE CAKES

Chop the green onions, dill and sundried tomatoes in tiny pieces and place in a medium sized bowl. Mince or grate the garlic and place in there too. Add the lemon juice, egg, mashed potatoes and the salmon. Mix gently till combined. Your hands work great for this.
Make patties by first separating the mixture into same size balls and then flatten and round the edges. Season the outsides of the patties with salt and pepper if desired.
Heat a frying pan to medium heat, add olive oil and place patties in pan. Cook till nicely brown on one side and flip. Brown the other side. They will take about 2-3 mins each side, depending on your pan. Remember that everything is cooked already so you only need to brown the patties.
Serve with a good dolop of the lemon dill aioli on top.
