Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh salmon fillets
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 red bell pepper, finely diced
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons parsley, freshly chopped
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

While the salmon cools, prepare the other ingredients. Chop the green onions, red bell pepper, and parsley.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, flake the cooled salmon with a fork, removing any skin and bones if present.

Step 5

Add the panko breadcrumbs, green onions, red bell pepper, beaten egg, mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until fully combined.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3 inches wide.

Step 7

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon cakes to the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Cook the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as remoulade or lemon aioli, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
