Healthy Salmon Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (14 ounce) can salmon, drained, skin and bones removed
    1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
    1/4 cup egg substitute
    4 scallions, minced
    1/2 cup mayonnaise, light or 1/2 cup fat, free
    2 red bell peppers, roasted with skin and seeds removed
    2 tablespoons pepperoncini peppers, chopped
    1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
    1 tablespoon chopped dill
    salt
    pepper
Preparation
    In a large bowl, place the salmon, bread crumbs, 3 minced scallions, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, egg substitute, dill, hot sauce, and 1/2 of one of the bell peppers (minced). Mix together until well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
    Shape the mixture into 4 even sized patties.
    Spray a skillet with non-stick spray and add patties, cooking at medium high heat. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove and place on a platter or four plates.
    In a food processor, pulse the red bell pepper, remaining mayonnaise, pepperoccini, and season with salt and pepper. Place a dallop on the top of each salmon cake. Sprinkle remaining scallions on top to serve.
    This is a very healthy meal. If you prefer, feel free to add full fat mayo, a real egg (instead of the substitute), and olive oil instead of the non-stick spray.
