Easy gluten-free salmon cakes that are full of flavor from Old Bay and dill, crispy on the outside with tasty bites of salmon with a creamy dill sauce.

2tablespoonssweet relish(optional, omit if Paleo)
Dill Sauce:
1/2cupmayonnaise
Paleo option: use 1/2 cup Paleo Mayonnaise
1tablespoondill
1teaspoonhorseradish sauce(I use Silver Spring. If you don't have the sauce you can use 1/2 or 1/4 teaspoon of horseradish)
Paleo option: 1/2-1/4 teaspoon horseradish
1teaspoonlemon juice
1/4teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
Dill Sauce:
Make this dill sauce first.
Combine mayonnaise, dill, garlic salt, lemon, and horseradish sauce in a small bowl. Chill in the refrigerator while cooking salmon patties.
Salmon Cakes:
Drain the canned salmon.
In a bowl beat the two eggs, add the Old Bay, dill, bread crumbs and relish(optional). Mix until all ingredients are combined.
Add the drained canned salmon and mix to combine the ingredients well.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium/high.
Form 3-inch patties of salmon cakes 1-inch thick. You should yield 8 cakes.
Pan Fried:
Fry cakes until golden in a single layer 3 or 4 minutes on each side.
Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Baked:
Place the salmon patties on a parchment lined (or use cooking spray) baking sheet. Bake the salmon cakes for 10 minutes at 375° F. Make sure you turn them over after 5 minutes of baking so both sides will be golden brown.
Enjoy!
