Calories 155kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) skinless salmon fillets
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup fresh bread crumbs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1½ tsp salt
- ½ cup spring onion/green onion finely chopped
Instructions
- Chop the salmon into small cubes then add to a large bowl.
- Add the egg, bread crumbs, mayonnaise and seasonings then mix well.
- Using a cookie scoop or third-cup measure, portion out the mixture then form into patties or cakes with damp hands.
- Place the salmon cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat then add a generous splash of avocado oil or olive oil.
- Add the cakes and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve with a sauce of your choice with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
- If using panko breadcrumbs or dried breadcrumbs, use only half cup as they will absorb more moisture and cause the cakes to be dense.
