Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams cooked salmon (flaked)
- 0.5 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked cooked salmon, red onion, fresh cilantro, and breadcrumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, lime juice, yellow curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the salmon mixture and stir well until all ingredients are fully combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon cakes to the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or side salad.
