Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds fresh salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup unsalted panko breadcrumbs
• 3 units green onions, finely chopped
• 2 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 unit egg
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (unsalted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush lightly with olive oil.

Step 3

Remove the skin from the salmon fillets if necessary and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 4

Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Let the salmon cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large bowl, crumble the baked salmon, discarding any bones.

Step 7

Add the panko breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, dill, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper to the salmon. Mix well to combine.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg and add it to the mixture along with the Greek yogurt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 9

Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 1/3 cup each.

Step 10

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 11

Cook the salmon cakes in batches, 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Step 12

Drain the salmon cakes on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
