Description

These salmon cakes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with fresh flavour. Paired with a simple sriracha dipping sauce, I promise you’ll love them, even if you’re not a fan of fish!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ribs of celery
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 x 213g cans of salmon
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp dried dill
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Sriracha Mayo dipping sauce for serving:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise of your choice
  • 12 tbsp sriracha (depending on your preferred spice level)

Instructions

  1. Quarter 3 ribs of celery, peel and quarter 1 medium onion. Add both to a food processor and pulse until minced.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil over medium-high in a medium skillet. Add the minced celery and onion. Cook until softened and starting to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. Meanwhile, crack two eggs into a large mixing bowl and lightly beat with a fork or whisk.

  4. Open the two cans of salmon and strain the excess liquid. Place salmon into the food processor, and pulse salmon a few times until it takes on a minced consistency (be careful not to over-process or it will become mushy).

  5. Add the salmon to the large mixing bowl with the eggs, followed by the cooked celery and onion1 cup of panko1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt1 1/2 tbsp dried dill1 tsp paprika3/4 tsp salt, and 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice. Mix with a large mixing spoon until combined.

  6. Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop out the salmon mixture and form into eight round patties. Place on a baking tray or directly into a freezer-safe container (see note for freezing).

 

To cook:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place frozen patties in the oven on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes, flipping halfway. Patties should be lightly browned and have an internal temperature of 165°F when done.

 

To make the Easy Sriracha Sauce:

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt1/2 cup mayonnaise1-2 tbsp of sriracha (depending on your preferred spice level). Serve immediately.

Notes

Freezing note: If you have space in your freezer, I suggest freezing patties on a baking tray before storing them in a freezer container. This will prevent them from sticking. Otherwise, place the patties directly into a freezer-safe container, ensuring they are not squished together, or they may stick.
