Salmon Cakes with Old Bay Sauce

So, I have a routine where I buy two pieces of salmon and grill them on Monday, eat one and have the other for dinner on Tuesday.  It's been a good routine, and a delicious one I may add, but after several months I've started to crave a little variety.  On a whim this week I decided to make some salmon cakes (or salmon burgers).  It may have had something to do with the crab cakes they were serving in the cafeteria at work which sound good but aren't all that healthy (or tasty if we're being honest.)
My version is lighter and pan fried in just a bit of olive oil.  Serve them with a side of Greek yogurt mixed with Old Bay seasoning or on top of a salad and you have a perfect ten minute dish for summer!
