SALMON CAKES



Salmon Cakes image

A few ingredients from your pantry and fridge are all you need to whip up an impressive salmon cake that can be served with salads or placed atop a toasted bun. Canned salmon may not be synonymous with high-end fare, but with the right flavor combinations and cooking method, you can transform this grocery store staple into a delicious dish. This salmon recipe calls for everyday ingredients you likely have in your pantry (canned salmon, breadcrumbs, red onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce) and fridge (eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery) to create a sophisticated meal that you can whip up on a weeknight for an impressive and healthy dinner. Salmon cakes will also keep in the fridge for several days, so you can make a batch on the weekend to take to lunch during the work week. A good recipe for salmon cakes calls for salty, tangy, spicy, and fresh ingredients that complement the rich savoriness of salmon. Salmon is buttery with a hint of sweetness, which is complemented by the brightness of lemon juice and the depth of browning in a skillet. While salmon cakes are inherently different from a traditionally prepared filet, the same principles apply: layering different flavors to accompany and complement the taste of the fish. Aside from the salmon itself, these cakes get their structure from the incorporation of breadcrumbs and eggs. Our recipe builds this base of flavor by first sautéing red onion and celery until they caramelize, which lends a subtle sweetness to their earthiness. Mayonnaise is used to offer tang, richness, and moisture, and lemon juice brightens the mixture. Finely chopped herbs (dill and parsley) are stirred in, further freshening the salmon cakes with the vibrancy that typically goes into some of our favorite preparations of salmon. Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce are thrown into the mix to contribute mouth-smacking savory flavor, and a small amount of vinegary hot sauce gives the slightest touch of heat. Dress these salmon cakes up on a bun with some pickled onions, tomato, and tartar sauce. Enjoy them with a salad of fresh lettuces and herbs. Requiring little more than half an hour to prepare, this recipe may become your new weeknight dinner favorite.

Yield 6 salmon cakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan frying
1 cup chopped red onion, 1/4-inch dice
1 cup chopped celery, 1/4-inch dice
1 (14.75-oz.) can salmon, drained, or 1 3/4 cup cooked, flaked salmon
1 3/4 cup panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 hot sauce (such as Crystal Hot Sauce)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Sauté onion and celery until very soft and browned, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, parsley, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce until mixture is well combined. Season with salt and pepper, and add sautéed onion and celery to mixture; stir to combine.

Four 6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets, skinned
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large or 2 small shallots, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

CHEF JOHN'S FRESH SALMON CAKES



Chef John's Fresh Salmon Cakes image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of salmon. Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice for this recipe. Avoid using farmed salmon, as it can be mushy and less flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use fresh herbs, good quality Dijon mustard, and a flavorful balsamic vinegar.
  • Don't over-mix the salmon cakes. Over-mixing will make the cakes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the salmon cakes. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the salmon cakes immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:
