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 10 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
Ingredients of Salmon Cakes
- It’s of chunk salmon (skinless boneless).
- It’s of Bread crumbs.
- Prepare of egg (beaten).
- You need of red bell pepper (chopped).
- It’s of Chopped green onions.
- It’s of old bay seasoning.
- You need of dill.
- It’s of Franks red-hot sauce (or any cayenne pepper sauce).

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.

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.
