Ingredients

• 14 ounces canned salmon (boneless and skinless)
• 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the canned salmon, panko breadcrumbs, green onions, and chopped cilantro.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and ground ginger. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 3

Pour in the beaten eggs and stir until the mixture holds together. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more panko breadcrumbs; if too dry, add a small splash of water.

Step 4

Form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 5

Heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil together in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Cook the salmon cakes in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the salmon cakes warm with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
