Salmon Cakes With Greens Recipes

SALMON CAKES RECIPE (SALMON PATTIES)

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 425˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silpat. Place salmon skin-side down, brush with olive oil and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Bake uncovered for 10-15 min or just until cooked through (my thinner cut salmon was closer to 10 min). Remove from oven, cover with foil and rest ten minutes. Discard skin, flake salmon with forks, remove any bones, and cool to room temp.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp butter and finely diced onion and bell pepper. Saute until softened and golden (7-9 minutes) then remove from heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled flaked salmon, sautéed onion and pepper, 1 cup bread crumbs, 2 beaten eggs, 3 Tbsp mayo, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 cup fresh parsley. Stir to combine then form into 13-14 patties. It's easy to portion patties using a flat ice cream scoop then pressing them into 1/3 to 1/2" thick patties.
• Heat 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter in a large pan over medium heat and once butter is done sizzling, add half of the salmon cakes and sauté 3 1/2 to 4 min per side or until golden brown and cooked through. If salmon cakes brown too quickly, reduce heat. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate. Add remaining 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter and repeat cooking remaining salmon cakes.

SALMON GRIDDLE CAKES WITH GREENS AND ENGLISH BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the salmon cakes, combine the salmon, mayonnaise, eggs, parsley, bread crumbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Divide into four balls, and form each ball into a cake. Place a large, heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the oil and cook the cakes until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes each side. Set aside.
• To make the sauce, in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the flour and milk and cook over medium heat until the mixture becomes a thick paste, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the flour-and-milk mixture to the top of a double-boiler and set over simmering water. Slowly whisk in the butter pieces. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To assemble the dish, place a 4-inch circle of greens in the centers of four plates and top each with a salmon cake. Spoon butter sauce around the edges of the plates and serve immediately.

SALMON CAKES WITH CORN AND GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• Soften the onion in the butter. Add the corn and saute for one minute. Combine with the salmon and potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the parsley, mustard, chili and eggs and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Shape the salmon mixture into small patties about three inches across and roll them in bread crumbs. Place them on a rack to dry for about 15 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan. Cook the patties three or four at a time, so that they do not crowd the pan, until they are lightly browned on both sides. Drain them on paper towels and keep them warm in a low oven until you are ready to eat. Serve with the lemon quarters.
