Salmon Cakes Ingredients – How to Serve Salmon Patties

The easiest way to serve these is straight from the skillet with a simple side salad, an extra sprig or two of dill, and some lemon wedges. But they’re also delicious topped with a simple Greek yogurt sauce made with lemon juice and chopped capers, sandwiched between a hamburger bun slicked with garlicky mayo, flaked onto a grain bowl, or served with crackers.
