Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb fresh salmon filet*
Garlic Salt - I use Lawry's brand
Black Pepper
Olive Oil
1 medium onion (1 cup finely diced)
1/2 red bell pepper (diced)
3 Tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
1 cup Panko bread crumbs (Japanese Style crumbs)
2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
3 Tbsp mayo
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 425˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silpat. Place salmon skin-side down, brush with olive oil and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Bake uncovered for 10-15 min or just until cooked through (my thinner cut salmon was closer to 10 min). Remove from oven, cover with foil and rest ten minutes. Discard skin, flake salmon with forks, remove any bones, and cool to room temp.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp butter and finely diced onion and bell pepper. Saute until softened and golden (7-9 minutes) then remove from heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled flaked salmon, sautéed onion and pepper, 1 cup bread crumbs, 2 beaten eggs, 3 Tbsp mayo, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 cup fresh parsley. Stir to combine then form into 13-14 patties. It's easy to portion patties using a flat ice cream scoop then pressing them into 1/3 to 1/2" thick patties.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter in a large pan over medium heat and once butter is done sizzling, add half of the salmon cakes and sauté 3 1/2 to 4 min per side or until golden brown and cooked through. If salmon cakes brown too quickly, reduce heat. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate. Add remaining 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter and repeat cooking remaining salmon cakes.

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.

Time 35m

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.
  • Prepare a plate by covering it in several layers of paper towels; set aside. In a clean skillet, heat additional oil to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet over medium-high heat. Separate the mixture into 1/3 cup portions and shape each portion into a 3/4-inch-thick round patty. Place patties in hot oil over medium heat, cooking no more than 3 at a time, for 3 or 4 minutes on each side, until the outside is evenly browned and the patty is cooked through.

1/2 pound fresh salmon
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup small-diced red onion (1 small onion)
1 1/2 cups small-diced celery (4 stalks)
1/2 cup small-diced red bell pepper (1 small pepper)

FRESH SALMON CAKES



Fresh Salmon Cakes image

Fresh salmon patties...a great recipe from Cook's Illustrated. I often make two or three batches at once, put them on a cookie sheet on parchment in my freezer, then bag once frozen. Cook them from frozen and they are a quick and delicious meal!

Provided by kathiejacgmail.com

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 8 patties, 4-6 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 grated onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
3/4 teaspoon table salt
1 1/2 tablespoons 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 panko breadcrumbs, fine unflavored dried bread crumbs

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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. They can be frozen at this point, then bagged together to cook from frozen when you want them. Double cooking time if frozen.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon. Use fresh or frozen salmon fillets with no skin or bones. If using frozen salmon, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Don't Overcook the Salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Flake the salmon with a fork until it is just cooked through.
  • Use Panko Breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are light and airy, and they help to create a crispy exterior on the salmon cakes.
  • Add Herbs and Seasonings. Fresh herbs and seasonings, such as dill, parsley, and lemon zest, add flavor to the salmon cakes.
  • Chill the Salmon Cakes Before Frying. Chilling the salmon cakes before frying helps them to hold their shape.
  • Fry the Salmon Cakes Over Medium Heat. Medium heat helps to prevent the salmon cakes from burning.
  • Serve with a Dipping Sauce. Salmon cakes are delicious served with a dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or lemon-butter sauce.

Conclusion:

Salmon cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect salmon cakes every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give these salmon cakes a try!
