Ingredients

• 1 lb Salmon fillet, cooked and flaked
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise (for remoulade)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (for remoulade)
• 1 tbsp Pickle relish
• 1 tsp Capers, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Hot sauce
• 1 tsp Lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp Paprika

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onion, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overmix.

Step 2

Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 3

While the salmon cakes are chilling, prepare the remoulade sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle relish, chopped capers, hot sauce, lemon juice, and paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Cook the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 6

Serve the salmon cakes warm with the remoulade sauce on the side. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
