Ingredients
Salmon Cakes
- 1 cup pork panko crumbs with 4 tablespoons reserved
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 4 tablespoons aioli
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 small shallot minced
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound skinless salmon fillet cut into 1/4 inch pieces (either manually or a few pulses with a food processor)
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
Citrus Aioli
- 1/2 cup aioli
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all aioli ingredients and set aside.
- Combine the reserved 4 tablespoons of pork panko, parsley, aioli, lemon juice, shallot, mustard, salt, pepper, and salmon in a large bowl and mix gently until combined.
- Pour the 1 cup or pork panko onto a plate. Form 1/3 cup salmon mixture into patties, until you have used all the salmon. Place patties, one at a time into the panko and press slightly to ensure they are well coated. You should have 8 patties.
- Heat the avocado oil over high heat in a skillet and when hot, add salmon cakes and cook until golden brown (the salmon cakes should start sizzling the moment you put them in). Cook for about 2 minutes then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer onto a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve with aioli.
