An awesome salmon cake recipe from our neighbors- Kay and R.J.. (Note: We never say R.J. and Kay which just doesn't have the same alliteration.)
1/3 cup fresh parsley leaflets
4 green onions or 3 shallots finely chopped
3 cups fine fresh bread crumbs
2 eggs
2 tbs unsalted butter
1 tbs spicy mustard
2 tbs mayo
2 tsps fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 cups flaked cooked salmon
salt & pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil for sautéing
1. Combine parley & shallots in food processor...pulse several times.
2. Add half of bread crumbs, eggs, melted butter, mayo, mustard and lemon juice to the above and mix all together in processor.
3. Add salmon to mixture...salt & pepper to taste...combine...shape patties into desired thickness and size....let sit in fridge for 30 to 60 minutes.
4. When ready to cook, dip the salmon cakes into remaining bread crumbs and let sit for another 5 minutes.
5. Heat oil in a large saute pan or heavy skillet over medium high heat...cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Kay's Notes:
** I prefer using the shallots so there's not so much green in the
patties.
** I've never tried using the cooked salmon from the can...I use fresh
