Instructions for Salmon Cakes Recipe
Discard the salmon, skin, flake the salmon with a fork and remove any bones, if needed.
Bring a medium skillet to medium heat. Add one tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter, onion, and bell peppers. Sauté for 7 to 9 minutes, or until soften and golden, then removed from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flaked salmon, on ion and bell pepper, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, black pepper and parsley. Stir to combine, then form into 13 or 14 patties that are 1/3 inch to 1/2 inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large pan over a medium heat. Once the butter is done sizzling, add half of the salmon cakes and sauté for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, and cook through. If salmon cakes brown too quickly, reduce heat. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter and cook the remaining salmon cakes.
Makes 5 to 7 servings.
Tip: if the salmon mixture is too moist to hold the patty shape, add more breadcrumbs. If it is too dry, add an extra 1 tablespoon mayonnaise.
