SPICY SALMON CAKES / SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE



Spicy Salmon Cakes / Sweet Red Pepper Sauce image

This is an awesome recipe, I love to fix this with left over salmon. Sometimes the local butcher has a killer sale on salmon, so I'll pick up some extra and make up a batch of these. They have a sligt kick to them that can be adjusted to your personal taste by adjusting the amount of Cayenne pepper.

Spicy Salmon & Coriander Fish Cakes image

With chilli, lemon and coriander in these fish cakes there are plenty of strong flavours and you'll almost certainly want to adjust quantities to taste. I've not made the same mix twice and have tried leaving the skins on - which of course make mashing more of a challenge.

SPICY THAI SALMON CAKES



Spicy Thai Salmon Cakes image

I make these up and freeze to use the last bits off the wonderful wild salmon we have on the West Coast. After steaking and filleting, I will steam the carcasses to get all the remaining morsels. Yes, you can just use purchased salmon as well. Note that the wild king/coho salmon on the West Coast have much more taste than farmed salmon though.

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 13m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces flaked salmon
6 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon horseradish cream
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon fresh dill
1/2 cup flour
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • If you've got fresh salmon, broil or bake with a little olive oil, allow to cool, then flake. (Cook an extra fillet the night before, maybe?) Canned salmon is okay, but fresh tastes much better.
  • Beat egg with the milk, salt, pepper and paprika in a medium-sized bowl. Add salmon, breadcrumbs, dill, and horseradish, and mix thoroughly. (For VERY SPICY cakes, add 2 tbsp horseradish).
  • Use your hands to form six 1½-inch diameter balls, flatten to about ¾ inch rounds, and refrigerate for ½ hour. Before cooking, roll lightly in flour (being sure to dust off excess).
  • In a large sauté pan melt butter over medium heat. When it starts to bubble, add cakes and cook for 4 minutes then flip and cook for another 4 minutes (they should be browned, but not burnt). Serve immediately.*
  • *Serve with lemon wedges or a nice Cucumber Salsa made up of chopped cucumber and tomato, spinach, red onion, salt, pepper, and lemon zest.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon. Look for pieces that are firm and have a vibrant color.
  • If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can make your own by toasting a few slices of bread and then grinding them in a food processor.
  • Be careful not to overmix the salmon mixture, as this will make the cakes tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • When cooking the salmon cakes, be patient and let them cook through on both sides. This will help to ensure that they are cooked evenly and have a crispy crust.
  • Serve the salmon cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or aioli.

Conclusion:

Spicy salmon cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give spicy salmon cakes a try!
