Flaked salmon and black beans, which make up the bulk of salmon cakes, are both good sources of calcium. The cakes are coated in a spicy bread-crumb mixture and then baked at a high temperature to make them crisp.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (240 g) cans red salmon
1/4 cup oats
1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (coriander)
kosher salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • If the mixture is too soft, add more oats. If the mixture is too dry add another egg white.
  • Shape into cakes.
  • Spray non-stick frying pan and cook until golden on each side.
  • These are delicious hot or cold.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice for salmon cakes. If you're using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Flake the salmon gently. Don't over-flake the salmon, or the cakes will be dry. Use a fork to gently flake the salmon into small pieces.
  • Use a variety of binders. Breadcrumbs, crackers, and oats are all common binders for salmon cakes. You can also use a combination of binders, such as half breadcrumbs and half crackers.
  • Add moisture to the mixture. Eggs, mayonnaise, and sour cream are all good ways to add moisture to salmon cakes. If you're using dry breadcrumbs, you may need to add a little more moisture than if you're using fresh breadcrumbs.
  • Season the mixture well. Salmon cakes should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
  • Form the cakes gently. Don't pack the salmon mixture too tightly, or the cakes will be dense and dry. Gently form the mixture into patties, about 1/2-inch thick and 3 inches in diameter.
  • Cook the cakes over medium heat. Salmon cakes should be cooked over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning. Cook the cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the cakes hot. Salmon cakes are best served hot, with a variety of dipping sauces. Some popular dipping sauces include tartar sauce, remoulade, and lemon-herb sauce.

Conclusion:

Salmon cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover salmon. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious salmon cakes that your whole family will love.
