Best Salmon Wild Rice Cakes Recipes

SALMON WILD RICE CAKES

Steps:

• Poach the salmon and walleye in lightly salted water, then flake. In a large bowl, use a fork to combine the flaked fish, mayonnaise, eggs, wild rice, parmesan cheese, onions and grlic. Add salt and pepper and enough bread crumbs to make the mixture solid enough to form 4-inch wide patties. Saute patties in 3 Tbsp oil over med heat until golden brown, flipping once (up to 5 min each side). Change oil after half the cakes have been fried.

SALMON AND WILD RICE CAKES

Steps:

• In a food processor, add onion, celery, parsley and garlic. Process until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the rice. Pulse just a few times until the ingredients are combined- the rice should keep most of its shape (you aren't making pureed rice).
• In a large bowl, combine the rice mixture, salmon, yogurt, egg and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Mix well. If the mixture does not seem wet enough, add more lemon juice (or yogurt). Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
• Using a ⅓ cup measure, scoop out the mixture and form into patties (I got 10 patties with the ⅓ cup measure- use the ¼ cup if you would like more or smaller cakes). Place formed patties on a parchment-or-foil-lined cookie sheet and freeze until they firm up a bit, about 30 minutes.
• When the salmon cakes have firmed up, preheat the broiler on high. Place the oven rack about 10 inches below the element (in other words- don't put it right under the broiler, give it some space). Broil for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve hot and enjoy!
