By draingal

Or try this with pike or walleye too!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs. fresh salmon, cleaned and deboned
• 1 1/4 cup mashed, cooked potatoes
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. fresh pepper
• 1 bunch green onions, minced
• 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
• 1 1/2 tsp. grated orange peel
• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
• flour or cornmeal for rolling cakes
• 4 tbsp. vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

Grind the cleaned salmon in a food processor.
Cook and mash potatoes. Set aside and cool.
In a bowl, mix together all remaining ingredients except vegetable oil. Add salmon and potatoes to mixture, shape into 2" patties, and dust the patties in flour or cornmeal.
Heat vegetable oil in a sauté pan until hot. Sauté cakes until golden brown on both sides. They should be firm but not overcooked - about 3 minutes on each side.
Serve with Horseradish Sour Cream Sauce.

3/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. freshly grated horseradish (or 1 tbsp. prepared)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup milk
