🕒 Total Time: 35 minutes
🥢 Servings: 8 patties
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 pound pink salmon, bones and skin removed
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cracker crumbs
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare Salmon: Start by removing the bones and skin from the salmon. Using a fork, flake the salmon into small pieces, then set aside.
-
Sauté Onion: In a small sauté pan or skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes tender. Transfer the sautéed onion to a bowl and allow it to cool slightly.
-
Prepare Mixture: Add the egg to the bowl with the cooled onion and beat with a wire whisk until well incorporated. Next, whisk in the mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dried dill, black pepper, salt, Tabasco sauce, and cracker crumbs. Mix the ingredients well until they form a cohesive mixture.
-
Combine with Salmon: Add the flaked salmon to the mixture and continue to stir until everything is evenly combined.
-
Form Patties: Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop out portions of the mixture and form them into 2-inch patties. Dust each patty lightly with flour, coating both sides.
-
Fry the Cakes: Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon cakes in the skillet in batches. Fry each batch for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Once cooked, transfer the salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the salmon cakes hot and enjoy the delicious flavors!
