Simple Salmon Cakes
- 2 cans Wild Alaskan Salmon, (12 Oz. Total Skinless/boneless)
- 23 cups Bread Crumbs, Divided (store Bought Are Fine)
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 Tablespoon Sweet Pickle Relish
- 1 Tablespoon Pimentos (drained)
- 1/4 teaspoons Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Drain the canned salmon and place in a medium bowl (you can buy the larger can with skin and bones and remove theseI just get totally icked out by the process).
- Break apart the chunks of fish.
- Add 1/3 cup of the breadcrumbs and the remaining ingredients (except for olive oil).
- Stir well to combine.
- Form the mixture into 6 patties or cakes (approximately 1/2 inch thick and about 2.5 inches in diameter).
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium high heat (feel free to substitute vegetable oil).
- Place the remaining 1/3 cup of breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl or small plate.
- Roll each cake in the bread crumbs to coat then add to the pan.
- Cook for approximately 4 minutes per side, till nicely browned.
- Be careful when turning the cakes as these can be a little delicate.
- Serve and enjoy!
- Also feel free to substitute things in for the relish and pimentos.
- This is my standard recipe but I have added in capers and thin sliced green onions.
- Just dont overload with too much vegetables as they tend to fall apart faster this way.
- They are also great if you add a little fresh dill to the mix.
- I serve these with a make-your-own salad bar of whatever I have on hand (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots, olives, hard boiled eggs, avocado, beetsthe options are endless).
- Theyre great with a little side of your favorite ranch or caesar dressing for dipping.
