Looking to add some interest to an easy dinner recipe? Five-spice may be your new best friend. What is five-spice powder? A mixture of these five spices: cinnamon, clove, fennel, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns. (There are regional recipes in China that include more spices, including white pepper, nutmeg and orange peel.) It adds a distinct warm flavor to these healthy salmon cakes.

This is in a rotating circuit for me! Delish. I half everything b/c only 2 people. I also use a wild caught salmon canned. Really a great spicy cake!!

YUM! These are delicious. I cooked about a lb of fresh salmon which was just over the 1 1/2 cups flaked. The only substitution I made was green onions for the red onion. We combined it with the sesame ginger sauce from Eating Well's Speedy Scallion-Ginger Salmon Cakes. This will be a staple. So good!

Haven't made yet, just a question. Can I use canned salmon with no bones, no skin? If yes, I assume I drain before measuring? Thanks.
