Light, fresh, and bursting with flavor, this is my favorite salmon recipe and one of my all-time favorite meals. For several years, my family ignored tradition and chose salmon cakes over turkey for Thanksgiving. They're that good. I pair them with a simple arugula salad with balsamic vinaigrette. If you have a hungry crowd, make more wild rice and serve that as a side. The cakes freeze well, too; double the recipe for a scrumptious rushed weekday dinner. Enjoy, Max Neale Salmon Beyond Borders supporter Makes 12-18 three to four inch cakes, which serve four people. Adapted from Sarah Chase's Cold Weather Cooking. Make it gluten free by using gluten-free bread.

![]() Today, we invite you to write and submit a short letter to Governor Walker and Lt. Governor Mallott to help protect Southeast Alaska’s transboundary rivers from the threats posed by large-scale mining development in Northwest British Columbia. Please urge them to support a referral to the International Joint Commission. This referral is the best option to achieve guaranteed protection for our transboundary rivers. It may sound complicated, but here are a few tips: -> SHORT & SWEET - 1, 2, 3 DONE Dear Governor Walker, 1 - I am writing today about [transboundary rivers: the Taku, Stikine, & Unuk and the communities that rely on them. ] 2- I care about this personally because… 3- What should be done about this issue? (We recommend advocating for a reference by the International Joint Commission.) DONE Thank the Governor for his time, and sign your name! -> GET PERSONAL Speak from the heart, tell Governor Walker why you care. Example: As an Alaskan who takes pride in our incredible natural resources, I feel that we have an important opportunity right now to protect the one of the greatest wild salmon regions on the planet. -> BE A REAL HUMAN Add your name and contact information. No one likes robots and this increases the likelihood of getting a letter in the hands of the Governor. -> STAMP IT, SEND IT! Office of the Governor P.O. Box 110001 Juneau, AK 99811-0001 -> "I'M AWESOME!" We’d love to keep track of the number of Alaskans taking the time to contact the Governor on this issue. Once you send your letter, send us a quick note about it so we can thank you! Together we have elevated this issue to the international level and communicated a strong, united message to British Columbia that Southeast Alaskans are serious about protecting our assets downstream. THANK YOU! Pat yourself on the back, and go have an awesome day. Jill & Liz, Salmon Beyond Borders
If you haven't done so, please sign today. Your signature will be delivered to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and is the best thing you can do right now to help achieve protections for the rivers of Southeast Alaska. Thank you!
