These easy-to-make salmon cakes get their amazing crunch from a thin layer of panko breadcrumbs.  A mixture of finely chopped salmon, fresh chives, and a touch of mayonnaise make for a flavorful fish cake and the simple sear in olive oil gives them a lovely golden crust.  Served alongside a spring salad made with tender lettuce, radishes and sugar snap peas, everything is finished off with a creamy buttermilk dressing for tang and added flavor; the secret ingredient in the dressing is a touch of soy sauce for added umami-goodness.
