These crispy salmon cakes are a delightful twist on the classic salmon patties, featuring a flavorful combination of ingredients and a crunchy coating.
Prepare the potatoes by boiling them until tender, then mash them in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the potatoes are fully cooked to achieve a smooth mash.
Sauté the chopped onion in a small amount of olive oil until softened.
Cook the onions over medium heat to avoid burning.
Combine the mashed potatoes, sautéed onions, cooked salmon, and egg in the mixing bowl. Mix well.
Chill the mixture for 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Form the mixture into small patties and coat each one in panko breadcrumbs.
Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the patties to ensure they stick.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan and cook the patties until golden brown on both sides.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Serve the salmon cakes warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor.
