Time 36m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 lbs salmon fillets
1 slice white bread, such as Pepperidge Farm, crusts removed and white part chopped very fine (about 5 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup onion (grated)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves (chopped)
3/4 teaspoon table salt
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup Japanese-style bread crumbs (Panko)

Steps:

  • 1. Locate and remove any pin bones from salmon flesh, (see related Quick Tip). Using sharp knife, cut flesh off skin, then discard skin. Chop salmon flesh into 1/4- to 1/3-inch pieces and mix with chopped bread, mayonnaise, onion, parsley, salt, and lemon juice in medium bowl. Scoop a generous 1/4-cup portion salmon mixture from bowl and use hands to form into a patty measuring roughly 2 1/2-inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick; place on parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining salmon mixture until you have 8 patties. Place patties in freezer until surface moisture has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, spread flour in pie plate or shallow baking dish. Beat eggs with 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons water in second pie plate or shallow baking dish, and spread bread crumbs in a third. Dip chilled salmon patties in flour to cover; shake off excess. Transfer to beaten egg and, using slotted spatula, turn to coat; let excess drip off. Transfer to bread crumbs; shake pan to coat patties completely. Return now-breaded patties to baking sheet.
  • 3. Heat remaining 1/2 cup vegetable oil in large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 3 minutes; add salmon patties and cook until medium golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip cakes over and continue cooking until medium golden brown on second side, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer cakes to plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil on surface, if desired, about 30 seconds, and then serve immediately, with one of the sauces that follow, if you like.

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.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup minced onion
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced celery
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon capers
1 ¼ pounds fresh wild salmon, coarsely chopped
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup panko bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 tablespoon panko bread crumbs, or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, red pepper, celery, and a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add capers; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Stir salmon, onion mixture, mayonnaise, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, garlic, mustard, cayenne, seafood seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper together in a bowl until well-mixed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firmed and chilled, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Form salmon mixture into four 1-inch thick patties; sprinkle remaining panko bread crumbs over each patty.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-heat. Cook patties in hot oil until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, wild-caught salmon. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • To ensure the salmon cakes are cooked evenly, make sure the patties are uniform in size and thickness.
  • Gently handle the salmon cakes when flipping them in the pan to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Serve the salmon cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or lemon-dill sauce.

Conclusion:

Fresh salmon cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are a great way to use up leftover salmon, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen for later. Whether you are serving them for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal, these salmon cakes are sure to be a hit.
