Instructions

  1. Remove skin from the filet. Chop it into 1/4 pieces.

  2. Mix 1¼ lbs salmon, 1/3 cup bread crumbs, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated onion, 2 tbsp parsley,¾ tsp salt and 2 tbsp lemon juice together. Carefully form 3 inch round patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

  3. Place patties on a parchment lined baking sheet and put in the freezer for 30 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, place 1/2 cup flour in one bowl, 2 beaten eggs in the second bowl and 1 cup panco breadcrumbs in the third bowl.

  5. First dip each cake in the flour, making sure it’s completely covered, tap off excess. Then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally into the Panco crumbs. Set cakes on a large plate, until you have enough for one batch or frying.
  6. Heat a frying pan with some oil, until hot. Place salmon cakes in, and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, on medium- high heat. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Transfer cakes to a serving plate and eat right away with the sauce on the side.
