Start by introducing the recipe for salmon cakes with a creamy lemon dill sauce.

Use 6 ounces of canned salmon, drained well, or leftover cooked salmon, and place it in a bowl.

Add 1/2 onion and 1 clove of garlic that have been softened in a skillet to the salmon.

Mix in 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs to the salmon mixture.

Crack 1 egg into the mixture as a binder and mix everything together.

Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of fish rub seasoning, fresh ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.

Set the salmon mixture aside and prepare the lemon dill sauce.

Chop about 1 tablespoon of fresh dill and add it to a bowl with 1/2 cup of light sour cream.

Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the sour cream and dill mixture.

Mix in a tiny bit of honey, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper to balance the flavors of the sauce.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.

Form the salmon mixture into patties and place them in the hot skillet, listening for the sizzle.

Cook the patties for about 2 to 3 minutes until they develop a brown crust.

Once cooked, serve the salmon cakes with a drizzle of lemon dill sauce on top.
