Donna Hay's Lime & Lemongrass Salmon Cakes

This is a really simple dish to create but a really impressive one to serve. Just make sure to check that all the bones from your salmon fillet are removed. You wouldn't want to choke on them or spit them out whilst you're eating this dish. Now that certainly would not be impressive!
