Time 30m

Yield 9 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, from 1 lemon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1¼ lb skinless salmon fillet, finely diced into ¼-inch pieces (see note)
1¼ cups panko bread crumbs, divided
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions, from 3 to 4 scallions, light and dark green parts
⅓ cup finely diced celery, from 2 stalks
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
½ cup vegetable oil
Salad greens with vinaigrette, tartar sauce and/or lemon wedges, for serving (see note)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Add the diced salmon, ¼ cup of the panko, the scallions, the celery, and the dill. Gently mix until uniformly combined.
  • Place the remaining 1 cup of panko in a shallow dish or pie plate. Using a ⅓-cup measure, scoop the salmon mixture and form into a compact cake about 1 inch high. Place the salmon cake into the panko and gently coat it all over in crumbs. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form about 9 cakes. (At this point, you can refrigerate the salmon cakes for a few hours until ready to cook, if you'd like.)
  • Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place half of the salmon cakes in the skillet and cook without moving until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the cakes and cook until second side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to medium if the cakes are browning too quickly. Transfer cakes to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining cakes (no need to change the oil). Serve warm.
  • Note: If buying a skin-on salmon fillet, purchase 1⅓ pounds of fish to yield 1¼ pounds of fish after skinning.
  • Make-Ahead: The salmon cakes can be fully cooked and refrigerated up to several hours ahead of time. To reheat: preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the salmon cakes in the oven and cook until crisp on the exterior and warm throughout, 10 to 15 minutes. The cakes may also be frozen for up to 3 months; defrost in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooked salmon cakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. Once cool, lay them out on one (or more) foil-lined baking sheet(s) and cover them loosely with plastic wrap. Freeze the patties in a single layer for about an hour, then remove them from the freezer. Wrap the cakes individually in plastic wrap and then put them together in a freezer bag or airtight container. Before serving, defrost in the refrigerator before reheating.

GRILLED SALMON PATTIES



Grilled Salmon Patties image

This recipe has been altered and tweaked with each batch until I felt it couldn't suit us any better. I used to remove the bones and skin, which was time consuming, but found after smashing everything the bones are not noticed and the skin adds flavor! This is quick and easy and flavorful enough for the toddler in my house. Grilling these salmon patties is a healthy alternative to beef burgers. Serve alone, on a bun, or on a bed of fresh greens.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup cracker crumbs
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
½ teaspoon paprika
1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
¼ cup honey mustard

Steps:

  • Combine cracker crumbs, egg, lemon juice, hot sauce, mustard, and paprika in a bowl; add salmon, stirring well. Allow the mix to stand for at least 5 minutes so that the flavors can join hands.
  • Preheat a grill to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a grill pan with foil.
  • Squeeze excess liquid from the mixture; this will allow the patties to hold together and turn that pretty golden brown. Form into patties.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes on each side. Serve with honey mustard.

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:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon. If you don't have fresh salmon, you can use frozen salmon that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Make sure to remove the skin and bones from the salmon before cooking. This will help to ensure that the salmon cakes are smooth and evenly cooked.
  • When forming the salmon cakes, be gentle and don't overmix the mixture. Overmixing will make the salmon cakes tough.
  • Cook the salmon cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning or becoming dry.
  • Serve the salmon cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include lemon mayonnaise, tartar sauce, or remoulade.

Conclusion:

Grilled salmon cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner.
