Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams salmon fillets, skinless and boneless
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until just cooked through. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, flake the cooked salmon with a fork until you achieve a coarse, crumbly texture.
Add breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and egg into the bowl with the salmon. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the chopped green onions, fresh parsley, and lemon zest, then season with salt and black pepper.
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the salmon cakes in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain the salmon cakes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or side salad.
