I grew up eating, and still crave, salmon "patties" (what my mother called them). This is from Fine Cooking.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb raw salmon fillet, skin and pin bones removed, cut into 1-inch chunks (preferably wild)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon country-style dijon mustard (grainy, but not whole-grain)
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon hot sauce
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Put salmon in a food processor and pulse until chopped to medium coarse, two to three 1-second pulses. Take care not to overprocess. There should still be some chunky pieces; you don't want a completely smooth puree.
  • In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the salmon and combine with a rubber spatula. Add mustard, lemon zest, hot sauce, 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Mix until well combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  • Remove salmon mixture from refrigerator, turn it out onto a baking sheet, and portion into eight equal mounds. With wet hands, gently shape each mound into a 2 1/2" wide patty. Sprinkle each patty with a pinch of the thyme on each side.
  • Heat olive oil in 12" nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon cakes and reduce heat to medium. Cook the cakes, turning once, until nicely browned on both sides and interior is no longer raw, 5-6 minutes total cooking time. Be careful not to overcook the cakes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Can make bite size cakes for appetizers:.
  • Portion mixture into 24 small mounds (about 3/4 oz. each), shape into small cakes and cook until nicely browned on both sides, 3-4 minutes total.
