Ingredients
  

For the Cakes
  • 15 oz Salmon Use fresh or canned salmon, drained
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Can be substituted with crushed crackers
  • 2 large Eggs Essential for binding the mixture
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Parsley Adds freshness
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Brightens the dish
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances flavor

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Oven

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the salmon cakes to perfection.
  2. Steam or poach salmon fillets for about 10-15 minutes until they flake easily. Allow them to cool slightly before shredding.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, and eggs. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into palm-sized cakes, aiming for about 6-8 patties.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each salmon cake for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the patties to plates. Enjoy them with tartar sauce and optional lemon wedges or fresh herbs.

Notes

For added flavor, serve with a dollop of sour cream or sprinkle of capers. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
