SALMON AND CORN CAKES

Steps:

• In large bowl, stir together salmon, corn, bell pepper, onion and garlic; stir in eggs. Stir in all remaining ingredients except flour and oil; gradually stir in flour. Shape mixture into sixteen 3-inch patties, using about 1/3 cup mixture for each.
• In 10- or 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook patties in oil about 8 minutes, turning once, until deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

CORN CAKES TOPPED WITH AVOCADO, TOMATO, POACHED EGGS AND SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Make the corn cakes: Preheat the oven to its lowest temperature setting.
• Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the egg, buttermilk and oil in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture along with the jalapeno and cilantro. Whisk just until combined to make a batter.
• Add a pat of butter to a griddle or large skillet. Heat over medium heat until the surface is hot and the butter is melted. Working in batches and adding more butter as needed, pour about 1/4 cup batter to form each 4- to 5-inch pancake; cook until bubbles form on the top and the bottoms are golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook on the other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the corn cakes to a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, poach the eggs (see Cook's Note): Bring a large pot of water to almost a boil. Add the vinegar, which will help the eggs set.
• Swirl the simmering water, then gently crack each egg into a small bowl and release right above the surface of the water. This is very important in order to prevent them from breaking and to achieve the proper consistency.
• Remove the pot from the heat, cover and let stand until the egg whites are fully cooked and the egg looks like a smooth ball, about 4 minutes. You want the yolks to be runny!
• Remove each poached egg with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• While the eggs poach, prepare the toppings: Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• To serve: Dollop about 1 tablespoon (or more, if you like) mashed avocado onto each corn cake. Top with 1 slice of tomato and a poached egg. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Drape a nicely folded piece of smoked salmon (about 1 ounce for each cake) over the top and garnish with black pepper and cilantro sprigs. Serve and enjoy!

SALMON CAKES WITH CORN AND GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• Soften the onion in the butter. Add the corn and saute for one minute. Combine with the salmon and potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the parsley, mustard, chili and eggs and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Shape the salmon mixture into small patties about three inches across and roll them in bread crumbs. Place them on a rack to dry for about 15 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan. Cook the patties three or four at a time, so that they do not crowd the pan, until they are lightly browned on both sides. Drain them on paper towels and keep them warm in a low oven until you are ready to eat. Serve with the lemon quarters.

SALMON CORN CAKES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a small skillet. Add leeks and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Place in a bowl and let cool. Stir in salmon, eggs, chives, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup of the cornmeal.
• Form the mixture into 12 cakes, each about 1/2 inch thick. Coat a large nonstick skillet lightly with oil. Heat over medium heat until hot. Coat salmon cakes lightly on both sides with the remaining cornmeal. Add as many fish cakes as will fit comfortably in pan. Cook until nicely browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.

CORN CAKES WITH SALMON ROE

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Coarsely chop corn and in another bowl stir together with egg, buttermilk, and chives. Stir in cornmeal mixture and let batter stand 15 minutes.
• In a 10-inch non-stick skillet heat 1 teaspoon butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and drop batter by teaspoon measures into skillet, without crowding (about 10). Cook cakes until golden, about 1 minute on each side, transferring to paper towels to drain, and make more cakes in same manner.
• Top warm corn cakes with sour cream and roe and garnish with onion.

SALMON & CORN CAKES

Steps:

• 1. Combine everything except bread crumbs. Add 1/4 c of bread crumbs and reserve the rest. Gently mix together so that salmon breaks up a bit, but still has decent chunks. 2. Form mix into patties, pressing together firmly. If needed add a little more bread crumbs to help everything stay together. 3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Gently dredge patties in remaining bread crumbs, then place into skillet. Cook each side until it is golden brown, (about 3 minutes each side) (Turning these can be a delicate operation. It helps to use two spatulas at the same time to prevent the cakes from breaking apart.) 4. Drain on paper towels, squeeze some lemon over, and enjoy.

SALMON CORN CAKES WITH CILANTRO-PEPPER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make Cilantro-Pepper Vinaigrette: combine first 6 ingredients in small bowl. Let stand at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Heat 1 T. vegetable oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, corn, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Combine salmon, bread crumbs, cilantro, lime juice, egg, salt, cayenne, and vegetables. Shape into 8 cakes, about 2-1/2 inches wide, then coat with cornmeal, shaking off excess.
• Heat 1 T. each oil and buter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Place 4 cakes in skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Keep warm in oven. Repet with remaining cakes. Serve hot with vinaigrette.
