Salmon Cakes

By ruhroh

Ingredients

• 1 can salmon, drained
• 1 bunch scallions, minced
• 1 Tbsp fresh herbs, minced (parsley, dill, cilantro, or basil)
• 1 1/2 tsp Old Bay
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 egg
• salt & pepper
• flour
• vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

Mix salmon, scallions, herbs, Old Bay, breadcrumbs, and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Salt & pepper to taste (though Old Bay is really salty, so I don't add salt). Carefully fold in the egg with a spatula until the mixture just clings together.

Divide mixture into four patties, cover with plastic and chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour.

Dredge patties in flour.

Heat a bit of oil -- a tablespoon max -- in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry patties until the outsides are crisp and browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
