CHEF JOHN'S FRESH SALMON CAKES
Salmon cakes are one of my go-to emergency meals. Every once in a while I like to use fresh salmon. Salmon is one of those products, like chicken, that's very easy to get into a rut with. People generally find a few recipes that work for them, and just stay with those, but this fairly simple preparation should be easy to add to anyone's rotation. Serve with lemon wedge and remoulade sauce. You can use any bread crumbs instead of panko breadcrumbs, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the salmon on a sheet pan, skin side down. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until just cooked. Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes and refrigerate until cold.
- Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of the butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- Break the bread slices in pieces and process the bread in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. You should have about 1 cup of bread crumbs. Place the bread crumbs on a sheet pan and toast in the oven for 5 minutes until lightly browned, tossing occasionally.
- Flake the chilled salmon into a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the vegetable mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into 10 (2 1/2 to 3-ounce) cakes.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. In batches, add the salmon cakes and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven and serve hot.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Fresh salmon is best, but frozen salmon can also be used. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Use good-quality mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is a key ingredient in salmon cakes, so it's important to use a good-quality brand. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
- Don't overmix the salmon cakes. Overmixing will make the salmon cakes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the salmon cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the salmon cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for salmon cakes include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and remoulade.
Conclusion:
Baked salmon cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover salmon. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
