CRISPY SALMON CAKES WITH LEMON- CAPER MAYONNAISE



Crispy Salmon Cakes With Lemon- Caper Mayonnaise image

This recipe was published in Cooking Light. I make it a bit different than it originally appeared, though (I don't use fat-free mayonnaise, saltines, etc. and also add some additional ingredients to suit my taste). If you would like to make the original version, just stick with the fat-free items and omit the last 4 items in the ingredient list (mayo through Tabasco) and you will have the original recipe. Prep time includes 20 minutes chilling time for the salmon cakes.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon possible: Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a mild, briny smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong, fishy smell.
  • Dry the salmon thoroughly before cooking: This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
  • Season the salmon generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard to the fish before cooking.
  • Cook the salmon over medium-high heat: This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from overcooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: If you are cooking multiple pieces of salmon, make sure there is enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a fish spatula to flip the salmon: This will help prevent the fish from breaking apart.
  • Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through: The salmon should be opaque and flaky when it is done. Do not overcook the salmon, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: The salmon is best served hot, with the creamy lemon caper sauce. You can also garnish the salmon with fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley.

Conclusion:

Crispy Skillet Salmon with Creamy Lemon Caper Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked until it is crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the creamy lemon caper sauce is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
