Looking for a quick and easy dinner, I thawed the ready-to-eat salmon steaks and googled "america's test kitchen salmon cakes" because I love America's Test Kitchen recipes. The first recipe link was from a blogger, Robyn Cooks.

I followed the recipe loosely.
Cooked salmon (2 large steaks) -- I didn't use the "gray" meat or skin
Mayo
Breadcrumbs
Ginger
Scallions (since I didn't have an onion) -- used only the green part
Lemon (for juice and for serving)
- I broke the cooked salmon steaks into pieces using a fork.
- I chopped up the scallions (green part) and threw them in a bowl with the salmon.
- I added mayo and breadcrumbs until I thought I got the right consistency.
- I added lots of ginger and a few squeezes of lemon. To be rid of the fishy taste, you know.
- Since the fish was already cooked, I only had to heat/brown them in a frying pan -- 15 min total and dinner was served (with more lemon wedges!).

I love ginger, so I thought they were great. And with the touch of lemon in the cakes, they were a bit sweet. Totally would make these again. Next time, I might try adding sauteed onions or something else for crunch.
Any suggestions for adding crunch to this recipe?
Other non-fishy recipes you like?
P.S. I accidentally bought haddock instead of halibut, and LOVED IT. It's a pretty hardy fish and held up well in the oven. YUM.
