🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 400 grams cooked salmon
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 stalks green onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 large egg

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, flake the cooked salmon into small pieces using a fork.

2. Add the panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, green onion, parsley, egg, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

3. Gently mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix as you want the salmon cakes to stay tender.

4. Using clean hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick.

5. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

6. Cook the salmon cakes in batches, about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil if needed for the second batch.

7. Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

8. Serve warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh green salad, steamed vegetables, or tartar sauce for dipping.
