Ingredients

• 12 ounces cooked salmon
• 0.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 3 stalks scallions
• 0.25 cups fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cups mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce

Directions

Step 1

Start by flaking the cooked salmon with a fork into a large mixing bowl to break it up into smaller pieces.

Step 2

Finely chop the scallions and parsley. Add these to the bowl with the salmon.

Step 3

Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs to the salmon mixture for binding.

Step 4

Into the bowl, add the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 patties, each about 2-3 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties into the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to flip them gently.

Step 9

While the salmon cakes are cooking, prepare a quick dipping sauce by mixing the mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl.

Step 10

Once the salmon cakes are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve warm with the spicy mayo on the side, and enjoy your Gluten-Free Savory Salmon Cakes!
