Make Salmon Cakes Recipe

We're making salmon cakes. These are tender and flavorful with big bites of flaked salmon. And wait until you try the homemade tartar sauce. Let's begin. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet. Place your salmon right in the center, drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Bake that at 425 degrees fahrenheit for 10 to 15 minutes or just until the salmon is cooked through.

Flake the salmon with a couple of forks, removing any bones that you find, then set it aside and let it cool to room temperature. On to the veggies which give these salmon cakes amazing flavor. Peel and finely dice a medium yellow onion. (upbeat music) Now seed and finely dice half of a red bell pepper. Place a medium skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of butter. (sizzling) Now add your chopped onion and bell pepper and saute, stirring occasionally for about seven to nine minutes,

Or until softened and golden. In a large mixing bowl, combine your cold flaked salmon along with your sauteed onion and bell pepper, one cup of bread crumbs, two beaten eggs, three tablespoons of mayo, a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, one teaspoon of garlic salt, a quarter teaspoon of black pepper, and a quarter cup of freshly chopped parsley. Stir everything together until combined. And now we make the patties. My favorite tool for making equal-sized patties is an ice cream scoop with a trigger release.

Form each patty between your hands, and they should be between a third to a half inch thick. Once the patties are all formed, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter. When the butter is done sizzling, add the salmon cakes in a single layer and saute about three to four minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Ah, it is time for the taste test, my favorite part. And to go with these, I made some homemade tartar sauce.
