Cakes?!? But It's Not My Birthday!

I am truly amazed at how much of a mess I can make when cooking.  Let's take one-dish meals, for example, the name indicates that you are supposed to use one-dish.  I believe this is some kind of false advertising, because somehow at least 5-10 dishes end up being used in a "one-dish" meal - and I'm not talking the dishes that the food is served on. 

Tonight's dish was not a one-dish meal so I had even more dishes to dirty, but this bloggery is not about my amazing ability to dirty way too many dishes in one meal preparation.  This bloggery is about food, glorious food.

Tonight's feature recipe at Table 4 Five:

Salmon Cakes with Sour Cream Dill Sauce

2 (14.75oz) cans of salmon

3/4 cup chopped scallions
