CHEF JOHN'S FRESH SALMON 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. Serve with lemon wedge and remoulade sauce. You can use any bread crumbs instead of panko breadcrumbs, if desired.

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.

Steps:
- Finely chop the salmon using a food processor.
- Transfer salmon to a bowl with baking mix, onion, bell pepper, parsley, egg, garlic, Worcestershire, seasoned salt, and seafood seasoning. Mix until the ingredients are well blended.
- Form the mixture into 8 small patties, and place onto a plate lined with waxed paper. If you are struggling to form the patties due to the mixture being sticky, rinse your hands after forming every few patties, as the mixture is easier to work with while your hands are clean. Refrigerate the patties for 30 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the cornmeal into a shallow dish and dredge each patty in the cornmeal, pressing lightly so that the cornmeal adheres to both sides of the patties.
- Working in batches, cook the patties in the oil until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

FRESH SALMON CAKES
Fresh salmon patties...a great recipe from Cook's Illustrated. I often make two or three batches at once, put them on a cookie sheet on parchment in my freezer, then bag once frozen. Cook them from frozen and they are a quick and delicious meal!

Steps:
- Using sharp knife, cut flesh off skin, then discard skin. Chop salmon flesh into 1/4- to 1/3-inch pieces and mix with chopped bread, mayonnaise, onion, parsley, salt, and lemon juice in medium bowl. Scoop a generous 1/4-cup portion salmon mixture from bowl and use hands to form into a patty measuring roughly 2 1/2-inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick; place on parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining salmon mixture until you have 8 patties. Place patties in freezer until surface moisture has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread flour in pie plate or shallow baking dish. Beat eggs with 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons water in second pie plate or shallow baking dish, and spread bread crumbs in a third. Dip chilled salmon patties in flour to cover; shake off excess. Transfer to beaten egg and, using slotted spatula, turn to coat; let excess drip off. Transfer to bread crumbs; shake pan to coat patties completely. Return now-breaded patties to baking sheet. They can be frozen at this point, then bagged together to cook from frozen when you want them. Double cooking time if frozen.
- Heat remaining 1/2 cup vegetable oil in large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 3 minutes; add salmon patties and cook until medium golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip cakes over and continue cooking until medium golden brown on second side, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer cakes to plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil on surface, if desired, about 30 seconds, and then serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Using coarse side of box grater or food processor fitted with coarse grater blade, shred potatoes. Working in batches, wrap potatoes in kitchen towel and squeeze out excess liquid. Transfer to large bowl. Repeat process with onion; add to bowl with potatoes. Mix next 4 ingredients into potato mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, drop potato mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into skillet; flatten to 3-inch rounds. Fry latkes until golden brown on bottom, adding more oil by tablespoonfuls as needed, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer latkes to rimmed baking sheet; keep warm in oven.
- Mix crème fraîche and chopped fresh tarragon in small bowl to blend. Divide smoked salmon among latkes. Top each latke with dollop of tarragon crème fraîche, then caviar.
Tips:
- To ensure crispy latkes, remove excess moisture from the salmon by patting it dry with paper towels before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Grate the salmon using the large holes of a box grater for a coarse texture that will hold its shape well when pan-fried.
- For a flavorful and aromatic latke, use fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or chives. Chop them finely and stir them into the batter just before cooking.
- When frying the latkes, make sure the oil is hot enough to prevent them from sticking to the pan. A good way to test the oil temperature is to drop a small piece of batter into it. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
- Cook the latkes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking. Do not flip them too often, as this can break them apart. Once the edges are golden brown and the latkes are cooked through, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the latkes warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, yogurt, or applesauce. They can also be served as a main course with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
These salmon latkes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings and sides. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, these salmon latkes are sure to please.
