    Method

    • Step-by-step Method for Making Salmon Cakes
    • Cut salmon fillet into even, small cubes for uniform mixing
    • Place cubed salmon in a mixing bowl
    • Finely chop red onion, celery, and red bell pepper if not prepped
    • Add red onion, celery, and red bell pepper to the salmon
    • Finely chop fresh parsley and add to the bowl
    • In a separate small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and ground black pepper
    • Add the mayo mixture to the salmon and vegetables
    • Gently mix to distribute ingredients evenly, being careful not to mash the salmon
    • Add panko breadcrumbs to the bowl
    • Lightly beat the egg in a separate small bowl
    • Pour beaten egg into the main mixture
    • Fold mixture gently until just combined; do not over-mix
    • Portion mixture into even pieces (6-8 cakes recommended)
    • Shape each portion into a compact patty, about 1 inch thick
    • Place patties on a plate or tray; refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to firm
    • Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat
    • When oil is shimmering, add salmon cakes in a single layer (do not overcrowd)
    • Cook cakes 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through
    • Transfer cooked cakes to a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess oil
    • Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon and a fresh herb salad or simple greens for plating
