Recipe Summary Chef John's Fresh Salmon Cakes
Salmon cakes are one of my go-to emergency meals. Every once in a while I like to use fresh salmon. Salmon is one of those products, like chicken, that's very easy to get into a rut with. People generally find a few recipes that work for them, and just stay with those, but this fairly simple preparation should be easy to add to anyone's rotation. Serve with lemon wedge and remoulade sauce. You can use any bread crumbs instead of panko breadcrumbs, if desired.Ingredients | Financial Emergency Fund Clipart1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil¼ cup minced onion2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper2 tablespoons minced celerysalt and pepper to taste1 tablespoon capers1 ¼ pounds fresh wild salmon, coarsely chopped¼ cup mayonnaise¼ cup panko bread crumbs2 cloves garlic, minced1 teaspoon Dijon mustard1 pinch cayenne pepper1 pinch seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)1 tablespoon panko bread crumbs, or to taste2 tablespoons olive oil, or as neededDirectionsHeat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
