Steps:
- Place the salmon pieces in a deep, medium-sized skillet or shallow saucepan. Pour in enough boiling water to almost cover fish. Add lemon slices. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes, or until salmon is opaque in center when flaked. Remove salmon with a slotted spatula. Remove the skin and bones and flake fish into a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Add flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Whisk just until blended. Pour batter over cooked salmon. Stir gently to mix.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour batter, 1/4 cup for each latke, into the hot butter. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook latkes until nicely browned and crisp on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn over and cook until second side is crisp and browned, about 2 minutes longer. Repeat in 1 or 2 more batches to use remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
- Drain on paper towels. Serve warm, with lemon wedges. Garnish with Cucumber and Red Onion Salad, if desired
Tips for Making Perfect Salmon Latkes:
- Use high-quality, fresh salmon. This will ensure that your latkes are flavorful and moist.
- Grate the salmon finely. This will help the latkes to bind together and prevent them from falling apart.
- Add plenty of herbs and spices to the latke mixture. This will give them a delicious flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the latkes. They should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still moist on the inside.
- Serve the latkes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, applesauce, and smoked salmon.
