Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g Cooked salmon, flaked
- 120 g Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 60 g Mayonnaise
- 30 g Dijon mustard
- 15 g Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 120 g Mayonnaise (for aioli)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for aioli)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flaked cooked salmon, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, green onions, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Place them on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the patties are chilling, prepare the lemon aioli. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon cakes in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Remove the cooked salmon cakes and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the salmon cakes warm with a dollop of the prepared lemon aioli on top or on the side. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a lemon wedge, if desired.
