SEAFOOD CAKES WITH HERB SAUCE



Seafood Cakes with Herb Sauce image

Living near the ocean, I have a wide variety of seafood available to experiment with in recipes. This one uses salmon and scallops, but shrimp, crab, lobster, or any firm white fish, such as halibut or even cod, would work equally as well. - Elizabeth Truesdell, Petaluma, California

MINI SEAFOOD CAKES WITH CREAMY LEMON SAUCE



Mini Seafood Cakes With Creamy Lemon Sauce image

For this appetizer, I added a few new twists to an old favorite. But these are baked instead of sautéed. And I add crabmeat, which I think results in a more robust flavor sensation. Shaping them into miniature cakes instead of full-size patties makes them a fantastic appetizer choice for your next get together, whether it's a buffet potluck or Sunday Brunch. You can serve them as is or with the light and refreshing Creamy Lemon Sauce (which utilizes sour cream instead of mayonnaise, which is safer for the buffet table).

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 18 cakes, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (14 ounce) canned salmon, drained
2 (6 ounce) canned crabmeat, drained
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
1 cup sour cream
1 lemon, juice of (about 1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon lemon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Grease or butter 18 cups of muffin pans; set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the canned salmon, crabmeat, onion, eggs, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce and Liquid Smoke. Mix thoroughly.
  • With a large spoon, gather bits of the salmon mixture (about the size of a golf ball) and drop into a cup of the prepared muffin pan. With your fingers or back of a spoon, flatten them into the muffin cup. Brush your fingers (or spoon) across the tops so they are smooth and even.
  • Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly browned.
  • While the cakes are baking, mix together the sour cream, lemon juice and lemon pepper until well blended and creamy. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Remove pan from the oven, and let cakes cool for about 15-20 minutes. Remove cakes and transfer to serving platter. Serve with Creamy Lemon Sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh seafood. If you're using frozen seafood, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the seafood mixture. Overmixing will make the cakes tough.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cakes. They should be cooked through, but still moist and tender.
  • Serve the cakes immediately with the creamy lemon sauce.

Conclusion:

These mini seafood cakes are a delicious and elegant appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a special occasion or a casual get-together. With their creamy lemon sauce, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
