Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh salmon fillet, skinless
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 large egg
- 2 green onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Place the fresh salmon fillet into a pot of simmering water and poach for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove and let cool. Once cooled, flake the salmon into small pieces using a fork.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, green onion, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
Step 3
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick. Place the patties onto a plate and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the salmon cakes in batches to prevent overcrowding.
Step 5
Cook the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, lemon wedges, or a side salad. Enjoy!
