I like to save the patties/cakes for crab/shrimp/scallops - I love a salmon burger!!! Jan, here's a recipe idea for you -
Basic Alaska Salmon Burger
Serving Size : 4
1 14 3/4-ounce can Alaska salmon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup sliced green onions
3 egg whites
Drain salmon. Combine lemon juice and mustard. Blend salmon with bread crumbs, green onions and lemon juice mixture. Mix in egg whites.
Form mixture into 4 patties and grill or broil until golden brown and heated through. Serve each burger on a bun with lettuce, tomato slices and condiments as desired.
NOTES : Recipe Variation: To make Alaska salmon teriyaki burgers, replace lemon juice with soy sauce. Brush burgers with teriyaki glaze or sauce before cooking.

But, if you must...
how about adding potatoes to your patty and serve with a lemony broccoli slaw??
or a horseraish-dill sauce
and then, have you ever tried our Chef Kelly Johnson's Sweet Garlic sauce?? Here it is - written as only Kelly would write it -
"Sweet garlic sauce is kinda cool...
Simple syrup dig? Add whole garlic cloves and simmer till it starts to color justa bit. Golden like...not brown.
Blender, puree and add 1/2 the volume you have of a neutral oil like veg or corn while the blender is running. It'll look like a pre fab caramel sauce and IS sweet but the garlic is very prevalent. Million uses for that one from steaks to ice cream.
If it gets to thick or breaks just add a splash of water to it and blend again.
Definitley try the garlic sauce...stupid easy with the perception of a really well thought out and technical sauce. "
This is so good!! Salmon patties with Sweet Garlic Sauce and Pineapple Salsa...doesn't get much better than that, I'm thinking.
