Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Cooked salmon (flaked)
- 120 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 80 grams Mayonnaise
- 15 grams Dijon mustard
- 3 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 15 grams Parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 60 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 120 grams Mayonnaise (for chili sauce)
- 15 milliliters Sriracha or chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked cooked salmon, Panko breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onions, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Mix together gently but thoroughly until the mixture holds its shape when formed into a patty.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 2.5 cm thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the salmon cakes in batches, frying each for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
To make the chili mayonnaise sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha or chili sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Serve the salmon cakes warm with a generous dollop of chili mayonnaise sauce on the side.
