Here is a delicious salmon cake recipe that Chef Perry Bentley made as a signature recipe for the canned Okanagan Select Sockeye salmon. We served it at Feast of Fields to 800 guests, and the guests thought this salmon cake tasted gourmet restaurant quality. Chef Perry thought the aroma and taste of the Okanagan wild Sockeye salmon is outstanding, and he is proud that the salmon is on the Worlds Healthiest Foods list.
The cake mix can be made a day ahead, and the beet marmalade several days ahead. If you do make the salmon mixes ahead, do not form the cakes, do that to order.
