I didn't have the cajun seasoning so I used lemon pepper instead. It was fabulous. The only other change I made was to add more pickles to the tartar sauce, which had an unusual but delicious taste. Quick, easy, and really good.

I loved the sauce. i used lime juice and it gave it some zing. I changed the salmon cake recipe slightly by adding some breadcrumbs and used salt instead of seasoning as the kids would not have liked it. Very popular. I used to make these years ago so I will have to put them back on the menu.
