Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Makes: 13-14 salmon cakes
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh salmon filet (or 14-15 oz drained canned salmon)
1 teaspoon garlic salt
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, finely diced
½ red or orange bell pepper, diced
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 eggs lightly beaten
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon low sodium Worcestershire sauce
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon skin-side down and brush with olive oil. Season with garlic salt.
- Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes until cooked through. Remove salmon from oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Once cooked, discard the skin and flake the salmon with forks, being sure to remove any bones. Cool to room temperature.
- While salmon is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened (7-9 minutes) and remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked (or canned) salmon, sauteed onions/peppers, and the rest of the ingredients. Stir to combine. Form into 13-14 patties.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once heated, add half of the salmon cakes and sauté 4 minutes per side or until cooked through. Once cooked transfer to a plate and cook remaining salmon cakes.
