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.

SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Sauté onion and celery until very soft and browned, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, parsley, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce until mixture is well combined. Season with salt and pepper, and add sautéed onion and celery to mixture; stir to combine.
• Prepare a plate by covering it in several layers of paper towels; set aside. In a clean skillet, heat additional oil to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet over medium-high heat. Separate the mixture into 1/3 cup portions and shape each portion into a 3/4-inch-thick round patty. Place patties in hot oil over medium heat, cooking no more than 3 at a time, for 3 or 4 minutes on each side, until the outside is evenly browned and the patty is cooked through. Transfer cooked patties to paper towel-lined plate. Add more oil to skillet if necessary and repeat cooking process until all patties are prepared.

CRISPY SALMON WITH SUMMERTIME SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the uppermost part of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring often, until crispy and golden, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the skillet and return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened but not brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in the green beans, corn, zucchini, 3/4 cup of the tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the zucchini and green beans are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the basil and tomato and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining tomato sauce to a medium ovenproof skillet and add the salmon skin-side up, making sure the fillets don't touch. Lightly brush the skins with oil and bake on the top oven rack until the sauce starts to bubble around the sides and the salmon is opaque on the outside but still rare on the inside, about 6 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and broil until the skin is crispy and blistered in places, 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the strength of your broiler.
• Before serving, drizzle the salmon with oil and sprinkle the bacon over the succotash. Serve with crusty bread.

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.
