Salmon Cakes. Pick through the salmon and remove any bones. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add the diced onion, salmon and pepper. While salmon cakes are inherently different from a traditionally prepared filet, the same principles apply: layering different flavors to accompany and complement the taste of the fish.
You can cook Salmon Cakes using 8 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook that.
Ingredients of Salmon Cakes
- Prepare 4 oz of cooked salmon (or 6 oz canned, drained).
- Prepare 1/2 c of mayonnaise.
- Prepare 1/2 tbsp of worcestershire.
- Prepare 1 of green onion, thinly sliced.
- It’s 1 tsp of your favorite seasoning blend- we like Tony's.
- Prepare 1 cup of breadcrumbs.
- It’s 1 of egg, beaten.
- Prepare 1 tablespoon of butter.
To ensure that the cakes don't fall apart, drain the salmon REALLY well and flake it well, use large eggs, and mix the ingredients thoroughly. About half the olive oil will remain in the skillet, and the nutrition info reflects that. But you need all of it to properly fry the cakes. Salmon cakes are one of my go-to emergency meals.
Salmon Cakes instructions
Mix the salmon with the mayonnaise, worcestershire, green onion, seasoning, and breadcrumbs..
Taste the mixture! Make sure it's salty enough. If it's too salty, add more breadcrumbs. For extra flavor, throw in any fresh herbs you have handy..
Gently fold in the egg. The mixture should just hold together when scooped; add a bit more mayo if it's too dry..
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter to it, swirling to coat the pan..
Divide the salmon mixture into 8 parts. Form by scooping them out with a large spoon, gently pressing them flat with your hand, and sliding into the pan. It's okay if they're a little wonky!.
Let them brown for a minute or two per side; they'll stick until they're ready to be flipped..
Serve immediately, with veggies and macaroni and cheese if you're like us!.
Every once in a while I like to use fresh salmon. Salmon is one of those products, like chicken, that's very easy to get into a rut with. People generally find a few recipes that work for them, and just stay with those, but this fairly simple preparation should be easy to add to anyone's rotation. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well incorporated. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil.
