Cakes
6 slices whole wheat sandwich bread
2 (15 ounce) cans salmon, drained and picked over for skin and bones
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
5 scallions
1/2 cup canned water chestnut, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil
Ginger-Sesame Sauce
6 tablespoons greek-style plain fat-free yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce

1
Remove the crusts from the bread tear into pieces and process in a food processor until you get fine bread crumbs. (I just put in a bowl and processed with my hand blender, worked just fine). You will have about 3 cups of soft crumbs.
2
In a large bowl, flake apart the salmon with a fork. Add the eggs and mix well.
3
Finely chop 4 of the scallions (white and green parts) and add to the bowl.
4
Add the water chestnuts, cilantro pepper and the bread crumbs and mix well.
5
Shape into 12 patties.
6
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 1 2 tsp of the oil over medium heat. Add 6 patties and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
7
Repeat with remaining oil and salmon patties.
8
Sauce: if you do not have Greek-style yogurt, use 1/2 cup regular non-fat yogurt but drain it in a coffee filter for 30 minutes.
9
Place all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
10
Serve the patties with the sauce on the side, and garnished with the remaining chopped scallion.
