Seafood Cakes with Herb Sauce image

Living near the ocean, I have a wide variety of seafood available to experiment with in recipes. This one uses salmon and scallops, but shrimp, crab, lobster, or any firm white fish, such as halibut or even cod, would work equally as well. - Elizabeth Truesdell, Petaluma, California
