Four Days of Weight Watchers Magazine Recipes....starting with FISH!

I decided to make 4 new recipes this week from my new Weight Watchers Recipe Magazine. I wanted to start with this fish recipe because fish feels so light and today is a particularly warm day so light is just right today!
I have always been intrigued by crab cakes - never tried one - but they intrigue me! So when I saw this recipe for Dilled Salmon Cakes with Tzatziki Sauce I was hooked (no pun intended)! After making it Chad agreed this is a dish we need to make again in the near future!!!
