Best 6 Salmon Cakes With Yogurt And Dill Sauce Recipes

I.C. SALMON WITH DILL-YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the salmon on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Rub the fillets with 2 teaspoons of the salt, then refrigerate for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, set your immersion circulator bath for 124 degrees F (51 degrees C).
• Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then divide between two gallon-size vacuum-seal or high-quality freezer zip-top bags. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the olive oil to each bag, then gently rub the fish to coat. Use a peeler to harvest eight strips of lemon peel and place two strips, pith-side up, on top of each fillet. Halve and juice the lemon; set the juice aside to use in the sauce. If using vacuum-seal bags, use the "gentle" or "moist" setting to seal the bags.
• Transfer the fillet bags to the water bath. If using zip-top bags, let the salmon sink, forcing the air out of the bag via displacement. Right before the mouth of the bag goes into the water, seal the bag. Leave the salmon to cook for 45 minutes. (If one of the bags floats, carefully reopen and try the sink-and-seal method again.)
• While the salmon cooks, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, dill, mustard, horseradish, and pepper. Stir in the remaining teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Stir well, then season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and lemon juice, if desired. Set aside until ready to serve.
• When the salmon is finished, remove it from the water bath. Open the bags and very carefully remove the fish to a paper towel-lined sheet pan. Pat the fish as dry as possible with additional paper towels. Brush the skin side lightly with some of the neutral oil.
• Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of the neutral oil and swirl the pan to coat. When the oil starts to smoke, add two of the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Brush the flesh side lightly with additional oil. Cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 1 minute. Carefully flip with a narrow metal spatula or "fish turner" and cook on the second side just until just brown, about 30 seconds. Carefully transfer to a serving platter and repeat with the remaining oil and fillets. Serve with the dill-yogurt sauce.

SALMON CAKES WITH YOGURT AND DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, retaining 1/3 cup panko crumbs for coating. Mix with a fork until moist, but not runny. If necessary, add more breadcrumbs. Put remaining panko crumbs on a plate or in bowl. Form salmon mixture into flat patties, about the width of a tennis ball. Roll patties in panko crumbs until evenly coated. In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil on medium to high heat for 2 minutes. Carefully add patties and fry on each side until golden brown, approximately 1-2 minutes. Remove from oil and set on paper towels to remove excess oil. While cooling patties, combine other 1/3 cup yogurt, juice of half a lemon, 1 T. dill (or 3 T. fresh) and pinch of sugar in a small bowl. Combine until smooth. Arrange cakes on a platter or individual plates and top with yogurt dill sauce just prior to serving.

SALMON CAKES WITH LEMON-CAPER YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Salmon: Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Drizzle the salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until the flesh is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
• Patties: Using a fork, flake the salmon into 1/2-inch pieces and put into a medium bowl. Add the egg, chives, 1/2 of the crushed crackers, the corn, mustard, mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix gently until just combined. Form the mixture into 2 1/2-inch diameter patties, about 3/4 inches thick. (If the mixture is too dry to form into patties, add extra mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon at a time,) Carefully coat the patties in the remaining crushed crackers and refrigerate for 1 hour. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until golden and crispy, about 7 to 8 minutes each side. Drain on paper towels.
• Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, capers, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Arrange the salmon cakes on a platter and serve alongside the sauce.

SALMON BURGERS WITH A YOGURT DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Lightly cook salmon, after thawing if frozen. An easy way is to poach in very hot but not boiling water for about 4-5 minutes. Do not cover salmon with water, only allowing water to be about half way up the fillets. Set aside.
• Put egg in bowl, lightly beat. Mix in 1 tbsp horseradish, lemon zest, lemon juice, scallions, breadcrumbs, tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Mix evenly.
• In another bowl, break up salmon into small pieces/flakes.
• Pour egg mixture from step two on to of salmon, and mix until salmon is thoroughly covered with mixture.
• Cover glass or similar dish with foil (saves on cleanup!). Make four similarly-sized balls of this salmon mixture using your hands and space evenly on the dish.
• Press each ball into a patty of about 3.5in in diameter and 1 inch thickness.
• Cover the dish and the salmon patties and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the patties maintain their shape.
• While patties are in fridge, mix yogurt, dill, salt, pepper and 1 tbsp horseradish (to taste) in a small bowl to make sauce. Cover and refrigerate. The longer this sauce is in the fridge, the stronger the dill flavor.
• Remove patties from refrigerator.
• Heat a pan or skillet to medium to high heat. Pour a small amount of olive oil in the skillet, and when hot place patty or patties (can do one one or more at a time depending on your comfort level) in pan.
• Let sizzle until brown on one side, and then flip. If you made the patties well and refrigerated them, flipping should be easy.
• When brown on both sides, place on bun of your choice, toasted or prepared however you like (I like to brush bun with olive oil, parmesan cheese and hot pepper before toasting in convection oven).
• Cover with yogurt dill sauce, and add lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Serve immediately.
