Fresh Salmon Cakes

Contributed By: dchewning
Recipe by Brooklyn firefighter Keith Young

Ingredients

1 pound Skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

3/4 cup Crumbled Ritz crackers

1/4 cup Heavy cream

1/4 cup Finely chopped red onion

1 tablespoon Minced fresh dill

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 large egg

1 Garlic clove, minced

1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1/2 cup Flour

2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil

Lemon wedges for garnish

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°. Combine the salmon, cracker crumbs, cream, onion, dill, mustard, egg, garlic, Tabasco sauce and salt in a medium bowl. Gently form into 4 patties, using 1/2 cup of the salmon mixture for each. Spread the flour on a plate and lightly coat each patty, shaking off excess.

Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, until hot but not smoking. Add the salmon patties and cook, turning once, 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Transfer the patties to a baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges. Serve on a bun with lettuce or tomato slices, if desired.
