THAI-SPICED SALMON CAKES



Thai-Spiced Salmon Cakes image

These salmon cakes need gentle handling as the big, tender chunks of salmon can make them crumbly during shaping; if that happens, just carefully reassemble them. Serve with lightly dressed greens and Sriracha mayonnaise. You can buy the latter or make it by stirring a little of the hot sauce into your favorite mayonnaise along with a squeeze of lime juice.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large scallions, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
3 medium cloves garlic, peeled
1 1-1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 small shallot, peeled
1/4 tsp. finely grated lime zest
1 Tbs. fresh lime juice
1 Tbs. fish sauce
1 tsp. granulated sugar
Fine sea salt
1 large egg
1 lb. skinless salmon fillet (pin bones removed), preferably wild, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/3 cup plain panko
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Put the scallions, garlic, ginger, shallot, lime zest and juice, fish sauce, sugar, and 1/4 tsp. salt into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to make a coarse paste. Add the egg, and process until blended, about 5 seconds.
  • Put the fish and panko into the food processor bowl. Pulse in two short bursts, scrape down the bowl, and pulse once more; the salmon mixture should still be coarse. Transfer to a mixing bowl, and gently stir or fold by hand to combine, if necessary.
  • Divide the salmon mixture into four portions, and handle lightly to form four patties, each one about 4 inches in diameter. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add enough oil to lightly coat. Cook the patties on each side until lightly browned and just cooked through, 6 minutes total, then serve.

SALMON CAKES WITH THAI BASIL YOGURT



Salmon Cakes With Thai Basil Yogurt image

Ginger and Thai basil yogurt is a wonderful accompaniment for these fish cakes, but they are also great with just a squeeze of lime if you want to save time. The cakes are best cooked as soon as they are shaped and served as a starter or a snack. However, if you wish to make them ahead of time, or if it's just a matter of preference, swap out the sunchokes (also known as Jerusalem artichokes) for more potato and chill them once they are formed. They should keep for a couple of days in the refrigerator, ready to be fried. If you cook them from cold, pop them into a hot oven after frying to make sure they are properly heated through.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 main course or 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound/500 grams sunchokes (also known as Jerusalem artichokes)
5 tablespoons/60 milliliters olive oil
Flaky or fine sea salt
1/2 pound/250 grams white or yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/4-inch/3-centimeter chunks
2 tablespoons finely chopped Thai basil, plus 12 whole leaves (or use a combination of normal basil and cilantro)
1/4 cup/10 grams wakame seaweed, roughly broken up into 1-inch/2-centimeter pieces if large
1 teaspoon peeled minced ginger
Scant 1/3 cup/25 grams finely chopped green onions (from 2 or 3 green onions, green parts only)
1/2 garlic clove (or 1 small clove), crushed
2 limes (finely grate the zest to get 2 teaspoons then cut into wedges for serving)
2 1/2 tablespoons potato starch (potato flour), or use all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
3/4 pound/350 grams store-bought cooked salmon (3 or 4 fillets), skin removed and roughly broken into 1 1/2-inch/4-centimeter pieces (see note)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 Thai basil leaves, finely chopped (or use a combination of normal basil and cilantro)
1 1/2 teaspoons peeled minced ginger
1 lime (finely grate the zest to get 1 1/2 teaspoons and juice to get 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1/4 garlic clove, crushed
1 scant cup/200 grams plain Greek yogurt
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/230 degrees Celsius and position a rack in the top third of the oven.
  • Fill a large bowl with water. Peel the sunchokes, adding them to the water as you go to prevent discoloration. Cut them into 1 1/4-inch/3-centimeter chunks, then dry very well with a kitchen towel. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt (or 1/4 teaspoon fine salt) and spread out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast sunchokes for 20 to 22 minutes, tossing them and rotating the pans halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool, then very roughly crush them.
  • While the sunchokes are roasting, add the potatoes to a medium saucepan, cover with cold, well-salted water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, cook for 12 minutes, or until soft. Drain and set aside to cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 1/4 cup/48 milliliters olive oil to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the basil leaves and the wakame and fry for 1 minute, stirring a little until crisp. Strain, reserving the oil, and transfer the basil and wakame to a small plate lined with paper towels.
  • Prepare the ginger and basil yogurt: Mix together all of the ingredients and set aside.
  • Roughly crush the cooled potatoes (some lumps are fine) and add to a large bowl with the cooked sunchokes, ginger, green onions, garlic, lime zest, potato starch (flour), egg, chopped basil and a good pinch of salt. Finely chop half the crisp wakame and add to the bowl. Mix everything together well, then add the salmon and gently mix to combine, trying not to break the salmon pieces too much.
  • With lightly oiled hands, form the mixture into 8 cakes, pressing them so they hold together.
  • Add half the butter and 1 tablespoon reserved oil to a large nonstick frying pan over high heat. Once hot, lower the heat to medium-high and fry half the fish cakes for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Remove from pan and then fry the remaining fish cakes in the same way with the remaining butter and 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil.
  • Divide the cakes between four plates and spoon some of the yogurt on each plate. Top the yogurt with the crisp wakame and Thai basil and serve with lime wedges alongside. (To serve as an appetizer, arrange cakes on a platter with the yogurt in a bowl alongside.)

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.

SPICY SALMON MAKI



Spicy Salmon Maki image

I can't claim this to be authentic, but it sure was tasty and packed just enough heat for my preference. If you are concerned with raw fish, try using cold smoked salmon. I had enough for 5 rolls, your results may vary.

Categories     Sushi

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup glutinous white rice (sushi rice)
1 ½ cups water
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 (1 ounce) package nori (dry seaweed)
1 medium avocado, thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) farmed Atlantic salmon
3 stalks green onions, halved lengthwise
¼ cup sriracha mayonnaise (Kikkoman)
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
½ teaspoon wasabi paste, or to taste
1 tablespoon pickled ginger, or to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse rice in a strainer under cold running water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, combine rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove and allow to cool. Stir vinegar mixture into the cooked rice - rice will dry as it cools. Allow rice to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Place a sheet of nori onto a sushi mat. Place about 1/2 cup rice on top and, using a rice paddle, spread rice onto the nori sheet.
  • Flip nori over so rice is facing down. Arrange 3 to 4 avocado slices, about 2 ounces salmon, 1 strip green onion, and 2 teaspoons Sriracha mayonnaise down the middle of the nori sheet.
  • Carefully, but tightly, roll nori up by closing in on the ingredients to form a roll. Drizzle each roll with hoisin sauce and more Sriracha mayonnaise and sprinkle with both types of sesame seeds.
  • Slice each sushi roll into 8 pieces. Serve with a dollop of wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.

  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help prevent the salmon cakes from sticking and falling apart.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Salmon cakes are traditionally served with a sweet chili sauce, but you can also use your favorite dipping sauce.
