Form salmon mixture into four 3-inch patties, each about 1 inch thick. Lightly coat an unheated very large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Carefully add salmon patties. Cook about 8 minutes or until golden brown and heated through, turning once.

Top each salmon cake with about 1 tablespoon mayonnaise topping. If desired, garnish with lemon peel.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
