Ingredients

15 ounces pink canned salmon, bones and skin removed, drained

1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish

1 tablespoon grainy Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay

Pinch freshly ground black pepper

1 large egg, beaten

1 clove garlic, grated

1 lemon, zested

1 green onion, sliced thin

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons salted butter

1 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Add the salmon, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, dill, mustard, salt, seafood seasoning, pepper, egg, garlic, lemon zest and green onion to a bowl. Mix well. Scoop into mounded tablespoons, forming each into small discs.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter to a large nonstick skillet. Add half of the salmon cakes to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden on the second side, an additional 2 minutes. Remove and repeat with the remaining oil, butter and salmon cakes.
  3. Transfer the salmon cakes to a serving platter. Dollop each with a little sour cream and top with a dill frond. Serve warm.

Flavor was good, but way too salty. Probably don’t need any salt, just the seafood seasoning.
