Categories     Seafood

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 c minced onion
1/4 c mayo
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp red pepper (cayenne)
1 beaten egg
1 can(s) salmon (drained, skin and bones removed)
1 c dry bread crumbs
3 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the first five ingredients. Stir in the egg, flaked salmon, and 4 tablespoons of bread crumbs. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.
  • 2. Divide mixture into 8 balls. Roll balls in the remaining bread crumbs. Flatten balls into 1/2 inch thick patties.
  • 3. Fry in melted butter for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  • 4. These are awesome served with a cheese sauce. That's how we enjoy them!

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon. If you can, buy salmon that is still skin-on and bone-in. This will give your salmon cakes more flavor and texture.
  • Cook the salmon perfectly. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Cook the salmon until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your salmon cakes will be. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices. Avoid using processed or canned ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the salmon mixture. Overmixing will make the salmon cakes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Form the salmon cakes gently. Use your hands to gently form the salmon cakes. Don't pack them too tightly or they will be dense and heavy.
  • Cook the salmon cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the salmon cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, remoulade, or a simple lemon wedge are all great options.

Conclusion:

Salmon cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover salmon. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect salmon cakes every time. So next time you have some salmon on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
