Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 egg white
2/3 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt, divided
Zest from 1 lemon plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
Generous pinch celery seed
2 slices sourdough bread, crusts removed (3.5 ounces)
1 pound cooked* boneless, skinless salmon, preferably sustainably sourced
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons chopped capers
3 teaspoons organic canola oil or avocado oil, divided
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons chopped dill
2 teaspoons relish
1 teaspoon whole grain or Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Whisk egg white, 1/3 cup Greek yogurt, zest, ¼ teaspoon salt and celery seed in a large bowl.
  • Process bread in food processor until it forms coarse crumbs.
  • Flake the salmon into small pieces.
  • Add the breadcrumbs, the salmon, shallot and capers to the Greek yogurt mixture and stir thoroughly to work the salmon into the binders and it becomes a consistent texture that can be formed into cakes.
  • Form the salmon mixture into 8 even cakes. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook four salmon cakes until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip over and brown on the second side, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the salmon patties to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Add the remaining teaspoon oil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook the remaining 4 patties until browned on both sides, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to the baking sheet.
  • Bake the salmon cakes until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/3 cup Greek yogurt, lemon juice, the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, mayonnaise, dill, relish, mustard and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Serve the salmon cakes with the light tartar.

CRISPY SALMON CAKES WITH LEMON- CAPER MAYONNAISE



Crispy Salmon Cakes With Lemon- Caper Mayonnaise image

This recipe was published in Cooking Light. I make it a bit different than it originally appeared, though (I don't use fat-free mayonnaise, saltines, etc. and also add some additional ingredients to suit my taste). If you would like to make the original version, just stick with the fat-free items and omit the last 4 items in the ingredient list (mayo through Tabasco) and you will have the original recipe. Prep time includes 20 minutes chilling time for the salmon cakes.
