The Best Asian Salmon Cakes
These are the best salmon cakes I have ever made, I found this recipe on zaar and loved the sound of all the ingredients and boy did they taste great. I made wasabi mayonnaise to go with these in case they were a little dry, it was so not needed, they were super moist with outstanding flavour and were gorgeous with or without the mayo.
