Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Salmon fillet, cooked and flaked
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise (for remoulade)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (for remoulade)
- 1 tbsp Pickle relish
- 1 tsp Capers, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Hot sauce
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onion, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overmix.
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
While the salmon cakes are chilling, prepare the remoulade sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle relish, chopped capers, hot sauce, lemon juice, and paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the salmon cakes to the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the salmon cakes warm with the remoulade sauce on the side. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
