CHEF JOHN'S FRESH SALMON CAKES



Chef John's Fresh Salmon Cakes image

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.

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup minced onion
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced celery
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon capers
1 ¼ pounds fresh wild salmon, coarsely chopped
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup panko bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon panko bread crumbs, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, red pepper, celery, and a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add capers; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Fresh salmon is best, but frozen salmon can also be used. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Use a food processor to pulse the salmon. This will help to create a smooth and even texture for the salmon cakes.
  • Add moisture to the salmon mixture. This can be done with eggs, mayonnaise, or sour cream. If the mixture is too dry, it will be difficult to form into patties.
  • Season the salmon mixture well. Use a variety of herbs and spices to give the salmon cakes flavor. Some good options include dill, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  • Form the salmon mixture into patties. Use a spoon or your hands to form the mixture into evenly sized patties. Be sure to press the patties firmly so that they hold together well.
  • Cook the salmon cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning. Cook the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the salmon cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include tartar sauce, dill sauce, or lemon wedge.

Conclusion:

Salmon cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover salmon. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect salmon cakes every time. So next time you have some salmon on hand, give this recipe a try!
