We love grilled salmon, but often prepare way more than we can eat. While I love it fresh off the grill, leftover salmon doesn’t always appeal to me. But salmon cakes are a great way to use that leftover salmon in a new way. We especially like this slightly spicy variation with jalapeno and sriracha.
