Salmon Cakes with Lemon Caper Yogurt

Ron and I love crab cake. Unfortunately, we don't order them when we go out because most of the time they contain bread crumbs. A few nights ago I was craving crab cakes, but there was no crab in sight. However, there was salmon. These are really easy to put together and cook up in no time for a quick a delicious dinner. I like them right on top of a salad, but you could do any side that tickles your fancy. Happy Mother's Day to everyone especially my mother! Enjoy!
