Ingredients
- 400 grams cooked salmon
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 stalks green onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, flake the cooked salmon into small pieces using a fork.
Step 2
Add the panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, green onion, parsley, egg, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Step 3
Gently mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix as you want the salmon cakes to stay tender.
Step 4
Using clean hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick.
Step 5
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Cook the salmon cakes in batches, about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil if needed for the second batch.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh green salad, steamed vegetables, or tartar sauce for dipping.
