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
- 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
- 1–2 tbsp sriracha (depending on your preferred spice level)
Instructions
-
Quarter 3 ribs of celery, peel and quarter 1 medium onion. Add both to a food processor and pulse until minced.
-
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.
-
Meanwhile, crack two eggs into a large mixing bowl and lightly beat with a fork or whisk.
-
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).
-
Add the salmon to the large mixing bowl with the eggs, followed by the cooked celery and onion, 1 cup of panko, 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 1/2 tbsp dried dill, 1 tsp paprika, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice. Mix with a large mixing spoon until combined.
-
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 yogurt, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1-2 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.
