Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 pound fresh salmon
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup small-diced red onion (1 small onion)
1 1/2 cups small-diced celery (4 stalks)
1/2 cup small-diced red bell pepper (1 small pepper)
1/2 cup small-diced yellow bell pepper (1 small pepper)
1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
3 slices stale bread, crusts removed
1/2 cup good mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the salmon on a sheet pan, skin side down. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until just cooked. Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes and refrigerate until cold.
  • Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of the butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • Break the bread slices in pieces and process the bread in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. You should have about 1 cup of bread crumbs. Place the bread crumbs on a sheet pan and toast in the oven for 5 minutes until lightly browned, tossing occasionally.
  • Flake the chilled salmon into a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the vegetable mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into 10 (2 1/2 to 3-ounce) cakes.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. In batches, add the salmon cakes and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven and serve hot.

OVEN BAKED SALMON PATTIES



Oven Baked Salmon Patties image

A healthier version of the usual pan fried salmon patties, the recipe is for 2 people, but can be doubled for larger amounts. My DH is not a fan of any fish that is not deep fried, or of Salmon, I had to find something that he would like and would fit into his diet! I combined an oven fried eggplant method into this and he loved it!

Time 30m

Yield 4 Patties, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

7 1/2 ounces pink salmon (1 can)
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (more if needed)
1 large egg, beaten
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup green onion
1/4 cup dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/8 teaspoon pepper
mayonnaise, as needed
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon italian seasoning, Tony's seasoning, etc mixed-as desired
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Mix Salmon, and first 8 ingredients together, use large egg, if seems dry, add mayo untill it seems moist enough form into 4 patties and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, to firm. Mix rest of dry ingredients in a bowl. When oven is hot, spread patties with mayonaise, one side at a time, place in panko mixture, to absorb as much as possible, repeat with other side, place on cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray and bake in 425 degree oven for 10 min., turn patties over and cook for 10 minutes more, checking to see if they are done to your likeness. Oven fries or sweet potato fries can be done at the same time and go great with this!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salmon cakes.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. This will help to bind the salmon cakes together and give them a creamy texture.
  • Season the salmon cakes well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Gently fry the salmon cakes. Don't overcrowd the pan, and don't flip the salmon cakes too often. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Serve the salmon cakes hot. They can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Baked salmon cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover salmon, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen for later. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a gathering, baked salmon cakes are a great option.
