Chinook Salmon Cakes
- 1 pound cooked Chinook salmon, canned or preferably fresh
- 1 small yellow onion, diced fine
- 1 beaten egg
- 1/2 bag cracker crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- Dill to sprinkle on top
- Lemon wedges
- If using canned salmon, drain and pick over carefully to remove dark cartilage and bones. Finely chop the onion.
- Using a fork, flake the salmon and then combine in a medium bowl with the onion, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, black pepper, cheese and parsley. Using about 1/3 cup salmon mixture for each cake, shape the mixture into rounds, about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle the flour on a plate or board. Dredge the patties in the flour, coating well, but dusting off excess flour. Place the patties in the refrigerator and let set for 30 minutes or longer.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet until foamy and hot. Add the patties and brown on both sides, cooking about 5 minutes. Remove the salmon cakes from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, with lemon wedges.
