Kid-friendly salmon cakes with dill sauce
Parents know how hard it can be to get kids to like fish (unless, perhaps, they're the battered and deep-fried kind). My son wouldn't try salmon for the longest time until I made salmon cakes, using good old Canadian (Pacific) salmon and cut into cute shapes. These cakes are good for the reluctant fish eater, I find, because they're not too "fishy" tasting. The other ingredients mingle with the fish to produce a mild-flavoured cake.

Directions
