Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a small mixing bowl, combine chopped green onion, low-fat mayonnaise, lemon juice, seasoning salt, and cayenne pepper. |
| 2 | Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings according to your personal preference. |
| 3 | Stir in the egg and well-drained salmon, then add 4 tablespoons of bread crumbs to the mixture. |
| 4 | Divide the mixture and shape it into 6 to 8 balls. |
| 5 | Roll the salmon balls in the remaining bread crumbs until they are evenly coated. Then, gently flatten them into cakes, each about 1/2 inch thick. |
| 6 | In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, fry the salmon cakes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. |
Tips:
- Ensure that the salmon is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can increase or decrease the amount of cayenne pepper for a spicier or milder flavor.
- Use a non-stick skillet for frying to prevent the salmon cakes from sticking.
- Serve the salmon cakes with a side salad, tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal or appetizer experience.
