Herb-Filled Salmon Cakes

Ingredients:
1 fillet salmon
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 eggs
2 slices wheat bread, ground into crumbs
1/4 cup fresh herbs, chopped (I used oregano, garlic chives and 2 sage leaves)
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
- Preheat broiler. Place salmon fillet in roasting pan, sprinkle with 2 Tbsp olive oil, and broil 4 inches from the heat for 7-10 minutes or until done.  Take out, set aside & let cool.
- Saute onion and garlic in 1 Tbsp olive oil on medium heat until onion is translucent.  Set aside & let cool.
- Combine eggs, herbs, salmon & onion in large bowl.  Use a wooden spoon to stir contents together and to break salmon into small pieces.  Add bread crumbs and continue to stir until ingredients are caked with the egg.  Add salt & pepper, as needed.
- With your hands, create palm-sized patties.  Gently place salmon patties in a non-stick pan.  Sear over medium heat (approx. 5 mins each side).  Remove from pan when each side is browned.
- Serve immediately.  This dish is scrumptions when served with a creamy white wine sauce.
