Our Salmon Cakes recipe is one of my favorite ways to enjoy salmon. Since we released our Seafood Seasoning, I have been meaning to use that spice blend in place of the spices in our original recipe.

Since it has been so incredibly warm here lately, I decided it was the perfect time to test out the recipe. I always crave seafood when the weather is nice.

(So warm that we already have fresh herbs in our kitchen garden!)

I made the recipe exactly as originally written, except for two changes. I removed all of the original seasonings, and just used two teaspoons of our Seafood Seasoning, which is currently on SALE on Amazon! I also didn’t include the garlic, because that flavor is also represented in our Seafood Seasoning. It was absolutely delicious, and will be the way we enjoy this recipe from now on. (If you don’t have our Seafood Seasoning, you should get it, especially since it’s 20% off and Prime eligible. Until then, you could just make our other recipe if you want)

We served ours with salad for lunch, and enjoyed them in the sunshine on our deck. These little cakes also make a great appetizer for a gathering.

I hope you enjoy this version of our recipe as much as we did!
