Salmon Zucchini Cakes

I came up with this recipe when I was trying to figure out a creative way to make my ever famous salmon patties which my mother adores yet my father just likes. My goal is to always make a hit- something that will leave my customers wanting more of whatever it was that I served. So when I thought about adding the zucchini into - it seemed perfect. It adds a little more taste to it and it is super (!!) healthy. And for those of you that don't like zucchini you can either just put less in or skip it...But I think yo should try it.
