Salmon Cakes with Remoulade Sauce ala Lyssa

So, I love salmon and I am always looking for ways to cook it, that are different.  Here is my take on Salmon Cakes.  This recipe is not Low Carb/Primal, as it does have bread crumbs, honestly I am getting ready to try it again without the Panko, I have moved to using sautéed shredded carrots in my meatloaf to make it Low Carb/Primal, I think the same would work here.  Really the egg is the binder, but the carrots would add bulk.  If using sautéed carrots, sauté them until they are soft, with the onions, bell pepper, and parsley.  You will want to add about 1 cup of the shredded carrots.
