Ingredients

  • 1¼ pound salmon filet
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt divided
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup bread crumbs
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Flaky sea salt to finish, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉.
  • Brush the salmon with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork at its thickest point. Remove from the oven.
  • In a large bowl, combine the salmon, mayonnaise, eggs, green onions, bread crumbs, flour, mustard, and pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth. Form the mixture into 4-6 equal-size patties.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers and runs easily when you tilt the pan. Add the salmon cakes and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until darkened in color on the bottom and starting to crisp, then flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the second side.
  • Remove the salmon cakes from the pan and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve and enjoy!
