CANNED SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine sweet potatoes and enough cold water to cover. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil on high, reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes or until fork tender.
• Drain potatoes and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Mash sweet potatoes with a masher (I do not like the fine texture that food processor yields but you could use it).
• Add salmon including the juices (all that flavour!) and mash a bit more. Add eggs, oats, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and stir with spatula until combined. Let mixture sit for 15 minutes to let oats soak up and act as a binder.
• Preheat large ceramic non-stick skillet on medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil to coat. It is important that skillet and oil are hot. Using under 1/4 cup mixture, form small salmon sweet potato cakes and place on a skillet. These are delicate, and I found large size patties do not hold as well.
• Cook for about 5-7 minutes (or until golden brown), carefully flip with a flat spatula and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Play it by ear until a nice crust forms, and as a skillet gets hotter, cakes cook faster, usually by the end of batch #2. Work in batches.
• Serve hot or cold, both states are extremely tasty!!! You can use your favourite sauce for dipping, serve with a salad or on a whole grain English muffin.

SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the salmon on a sheet pan, skin side down. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until just cooked. Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes and refrigerate until cold.
• Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of the butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Break the bread slices in pieces and process the bread in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. You should have about 1 cup of bread crumbs. Place the bread crumbs on a sheet pan and toast in the oven for 5 minutes until lightly browned, tossing occasionally.
• Flake the chilled salmon into a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the vegetable mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into 10 (2 1/2 to 3-ounce) cakes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. In batches, add the salmon cakes and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven and serve hot.

• Bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven, turning once, or until golden brown on both sides.

EASY SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to the "keep warm" setting.
• Drain the salmon cans thoroughly. Place the salmon in a large bowl. Flake it well with a fork into tiny pieces.
• Add the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and thyme. Mix well.
• Mix in the chopped parsley.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large 12-inch nonstick skillet, for about 3 minutes.
• Using an ice cream scoop, transfer four mounds of the mixture to the skillet. Pack the mixture into the scoop, then release it into the skillet and gently flatten.
• Cook until well-browned and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Place the cooked patties in the oven to keep warm while you cook the second batch.

FAVORITE SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Stir eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and white pepper together in a large bowl until there are no lumps left. Mix in bell pepper, parsley, and onion. Add salmon; toss gently to preserve some chunks. Add crushed saltines, barely tossing to mix the ingredients.
• Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to divide mixture into 12 cakes. Gently press remaining saltine crumbs onto the top and bottom of each cake. Place on a parchment-lined plate, adding parchment in between the layers. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 of the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Gently place 1/2 of the patties into the heated oil and pan-fry for 4 minutes. Carefully turn and pan-fry an additional 4 minutes. Check for brownness, as you do not want your patties to burn.
• Wipe out the skillet, add remaining oil and butter, and pan-fry the remaining patties in the same manner. Garnish salmon cakes with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
