  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound fresh salmon, skin removed
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for a crunchier texture)
– 2 large eggs
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
– Juice of 1 lemon
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil for frying


Instructions

Creating Fresh Salmon Cakes is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Salmon: In a medium pot, add the fresh salmon and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it cool.
2. Flake the Cooked Salmon: Once cooled, flake the salmon using a fork and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
3. Mix Ingredients: Add the breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, onion, garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Gently mix until just combined.
4. Form Cakes: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter) and place them on a plate.
5. Heat Oil in a Pan: In a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
6. Cook the Cakes: Once the oil is hot, carefully place several salmon cakes in the pan, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the cooked cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Garnish & Serve: Optionally, you can garnish with more fresh dill or a slice of lemon before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating these incredible Fresh Salmon Cakes with ease.
