Salmon Cakes With Ginger Sesame Sauce Recipes

SALMON CAKES WITH GINGER-SESAME SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the crusts from the bread tear into pieces and process in a food processor until you get fine bread crumbs. (I just put in a bowl and processed with my hand blender, worked just fine). You will have about 3 cups of soft crumbs.
• In a large bowl, flake apart the salmon with a fork. Add the eggs and mix well.
• Finely chop 4 of the scallions (white and green parts) and add to the bowl.
• Add the water chestnuts, cilantro pepper and the bread crumbs and mix well.
• Shape into 12 patties.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 1 2 tsp of the oil over medium heat. Add 6 patties and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
• Repeat with remaining oil and salmon patties.
• Sauce: if you do not have Greek-style yogurt, use 1/2 cup regular non-fat yogurt but drain it in a coffee filter for 30 minutes.
• Place all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
• Serve the patties with the sauce on the side, and garnished with the remaining chopped scallion.
