SALMON CAKES WITH GINGER-SESAME SAUCE



Salmon Cakes With Ginger-Sesame Sauce image

By FN chef Ellie Krieger published in the USA Weekend magazine. This recipe relies, pretty much, on pantry ingredients. If I did not have fresh ginger for the sauce, I would mix mayonnaise with Thai chili sauce or sriracha.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 slices whole wheat sandwich bread
2 (15 ounce) cans salmon, drained and picked over for skin and bones
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
5 scallions
1/2 cup canned water chestnut, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil
6 tablespoons greek-style plain fat-free yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce

Steps:

  • Remove the crusts from the bread tear into pieces and process in a food processor until you get fine bread crumbs. (I just put in a bowl and processed with my hand blender, worked just fine). You will have about 3 cups of soft crumbs.
  • In a large bowl, flake apart the salmon with a fork. Add the eggs and mix well.
  • Finely chop 4 of the scallions (white and green parts) and add to the bowl.
  • Add the water chestnuts, cilantro pepper and the bread crumbs and mix well.
  • Shape into 12 patties.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 1 2 tsp of the oil over medium heat. Add 6 patties and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
  • Repeat with remaining oil and salmon patties.
  • Sauce: if you do not have Greek-style yogurt, use 1/2 cup regular non-fat yogurt but drain it in a coffee filter for 30 minutes.
  • Place all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Serve the patties with the sauce on the side, and garnished with the remaining chopped scallion.

Time 2h20m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

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)
1/2 cup small-diced yellow bell pepper (1 small pepper)
1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
3 slices stale bread, crusts removed
1/2 cup good mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the salmon on a sheet pan, skin side down. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until just cooked. Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes and refrigerate until cold.
  • Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of the butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • Break the bread slices in pieces and process the bread in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. You should have about 1 cup of bread crumbs. Place the bread crumbs on a sheet pan and toast in the oven for 5 minutes until lightly browned, tossing occasionally.
  • Flake the chilled salmon into a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the vegetable mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into 10 (2 1/2 to 3-ounce) cakes.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. In batches, add the salmon cakes and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality salmon. This will ensure that your cakes are moist and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are lighter and airier than regular breadcrumbs, which will give your cakes a crispy exterior.
  • Add moisture to the cakes. This can be done by adding eggs, mayonnaise, or sour cream. You can also add chopped vegetables, such as onions, celery, or carrots.
  • Season the cakes well. Use a variety of spices and herbs, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, and parsley.
  • Form the cakes into patties. Use a burger press or your hands to form the cakes into 1-inch thick patties.
  • Pan-fry the cakes. Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the cakes with a creamy ginger-sesame sauce. This sauce is made with mayonnaise, sour cream, ginger, sesame seeds, and soy sauce. It is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your salmon cakes.

Conclusion:

Salmon cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are a great way to use up leftover salmon, and they are also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Serve them with a creamy ginger-sesame sauce for a truly unforgettable meal.
