Steps:

For the sauce:.
Combine in small bowl juice of lime, mayonnaise and sour cream; mix well. Cover; refrigerate until ready to serve.
For salmon cakes:.
Drain salmon using a small colander bowl and flake using a pastry blender or fork. Add salmon to a bowl and add remaining ingredients (use only 1/2 cup of bread crumbs); mix well to combine.
Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs onto bottom of a shallow dish or plate. Scoop salmon mixture into balls ( I use a 2tb scoop) and flatten into bread crumbs coating booth sides evenly. Use more bread crumbs if necessary to coat salmon cakes.
Heat 1-2 tb of olive oil in skillet over medium heat until hot. Cook salmon cakes until golden brown, carefully turning once.
