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.
