Great way to use up leftover salmon. I was surprised by the aoili, very tasty and very simple and the cakes themselves were good, though mine were a bit spicy as I didn't measure my Cajun seasonings. I found too that mine were a bit soft and didn't stay together unless I was extra careful...

These were quite nice. I used fresh salmon baked with cajun seasoning on top which made it nice and spicey. They were a bit soft for putting on outer coating of breadcrumbs (but I think that was my fault. Too much mayo). Will make these again. Mayo was nice not to overpowering.
