Instructions

For the salmon cakes

Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F. Line a roasting pan with alluminum foil for easy clean up.
Place salmon in pan and season with salt and pepper and squeeze lemon juice over it.
Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until salmon is just done and flakes.
Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
While salmon is cooking and cooling prepare other ingredients.
In a large bowl combine bread crumbs, flour, shallot, parsley, corriander, red pepper, lemon zest, salt and cayenne pepper and mix to combine.
Once salmon is cooled, shred or break up into pieces and mix with dry ingredients. Mx in the dijon mustard and egg until mixture will just hold together. (Will be slightly crumbly).
Form into 6 equal balls, then flatten into patties.
At this point you can either refrigerate, freeze or cook your patties.
To cook them heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non stick pan and sear patties on each side for 3-4 minutes or until browned.

For the honey dijon dressing

Whisk all ingredients together until well blended. (shake or mix again before pouring onto greens)
