Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz. canned pink salmon (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 green onions (green and white parts), divided
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (juice from one lemon)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried dill
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt or sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil (plus more if needed)

Instructions
 

  • Prep: In a large bowl, add the salmon. With a fork or clean hands, break the salmon apart. Discard any bones you might find.
  • Mix: To the bowl, add your egg, white ends of the onion, panko breadcrumbs, Italian breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, red bell pepper, mayo, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until well combined.
  • Form Patties: Using a measuring cup, scoop out 1/4 cup of the salmon mixture. With clean hands, gently form the salmon into a burger shape. Note: For larger cakes, use 1/2 cup of the salmon mixture.
  • Cook: To a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of oil. Use a brush to make sure the entire skillet is coated with oil.
    Place salmon cakes in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip the salmon cakes and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until everything is heated through and you have a nice, golden brown crust. Throughout the cooking process, you can add a bit more oil, if needed.
  • Serve: Serve these salmon cakes with this delicious, easy sauce!
