Tasty Salmon Cakes (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon, saved with 2 tablespoons liquid, broken into flakes.
02 -
1 big bread slice without crust, torn up (1 cup, 50g).
03 -
3 tablespoons chopped green onion.
04 -
1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped.
05 -
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried.
06 -
3 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper.
07 -
1 tablespoon flour.
08 -
1 large egg.
09 -
1/2 teaspoon mild paprika.
10 -
1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated.
11 -
2 teaspoons lemon juice.
12 -
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
13 -
A few twists of fresh ground black pepper.
14 -
3 tablespoons olive oil.
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a big bowl and gently toss the salmon with its 2 tablespoons liquid, torn bread, green onion, garlic, dill, bell pepper, flour, egg, paprika, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until everything's mixed up good.
02 -
Make 8 patties from the mix, about 1/2 inch thick each, making sure they stick together well.
03 -
Wrap the patties and stick them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or a few hours if you want. This helps them stay together when you cook them.
04 -
Pour the olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties carefully and cook till they're golden brown on each side, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. They're best served warm with all those tasty flavors coming through.
# Notes:
01 -
If your mix feels too soggy for patties, just add more torn bread until it feels right. Too dry? Splash in a tablespoon of water.
02 -
These patties work great for a nice brunch or as the main star in a quick dinner.
