Citrus: Salmon Cakes with Cool Lime Sauce

Salmon Cakes

12 oz cooked salmon (flaked)
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 T snipped fresh cilantro
1T lime zest
1/2 c bread crumbs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 egg white

Mix all ingredients well.
Place ~1/4 cup bread crumbs in a bowl. Form balls of salmon mixture (~1 T) and roll each ball in bread crumbs. Place in a hot skillet. Flatten balls using a spatula. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown turning once.

Cool Lime Sauce

1 lime
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream

Combine mayo, sour cream, juice from 1 lime and ~ 2T of lime zest.

I baked the salmon with salt, pepper, lime juice, and lime zest on it. I did used all of the ingredients above but not those proportions -- just started with how much salmon I had and added ingredients more or less depending on my preference. Just get the mixture wet enough to stick in balls similar to how meatballs would feel.
