Salmon Cakes and Tuna Patties Recipe- Gluten Free, Paleo, Nightshade Free

Tuna patties and salad

Ok, I don't officially have picky eaters in my family, but my kids do have some foods that they won't touch, specifically Ike. He won't touch any fish other than tuna, certainly not salmon. And he cannot stand zucchini in any way, shape, or form.
I had salmon heads in my freezer that I wanted to cook up, debone, and use their meat for something, and I decided on salmon cakes. Knowing that my kids would not appreciate the salmon cakes, I decided to make them tuna patties instead. I can't eat potatoes, my kids do. I don't do so well with eggs but egg yolks are definitely better for me than egg whites, so I made mine only with egg yolks. Next time I plan on trying these with flax eggs, not egg yolks, though. For the kids I made with whole eggs and carrots in place of zucchini, potato starch instead of tapioca starch (it's cheaper). These are relatively simple recipes, and what worked with one could probably work with the other, but I decided to share both recipes and feel free to use whichever one you want, or mix and match them to suit your family's tastes, dietary needs, or simply what you have available.

Salmon Cakes

Ok, question time- are these fish cakes or fish patties? I couldn't decide what their official name is, hence using both in the title.
Do these look like recipes you'd make? Which are you more likely to try- the tuna patties or salmon cakes, or a mash up of both recipes?
Are there any random foods that certain family members of yours refuse to eat? What are they?
