"We all know we should eat more salmon, but after a while the fillets just get a little monotonous," says Barb. This week's recipe for salmon cakes, which couldn't be easier, is perfect for this time a year, plus it's one last opportunity to make the most of Colorado corn, which is nearing the end of its season. Pete and Barb use Columbia River King salmon and serve the cakes with a crisp, bright white wine like Claire Moreau Muscadet, which is currently $9.99 at Marczyk's wine shop.
