Crunchy Asian Salmon Cakes with Sweet Chili Mayo*
 
 
Can you tell yet that I love Asian food ? Salmon is one of my favorite types of fish. I created this dish to have a nice crunch outside with a center that is filled with Asian flavors. The sweet and spicy dipping sauce is a great complement to the savory taste in the salmon cakes. Make them smaller as an appetizer or larger as a main course.
