Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh salmon fillet, skinless
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 large egg
- 2 green onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Place the fresh salmon fillet into a pot of simmering water and poach for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove and let cool. Once cooled, flake the salmon into small pieces using a fork.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, green onion, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick. Place the patties onto a plate and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the salmon cakes in batches to prevent overcrowding.
Cook the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, lemon wedges, or a side salad. Enjoy!
