Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 400 grams (14 ounces) cooked/canned salmon
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup parmesan, grated
Herbs and Aromatics:
- 1 small onion, grated
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 shallots/green onions, sliced
- 1/3 cup fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried herbs)
Seasonings and Oils:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan), ensuring the rack is positioned in the middle for even cooking.
- Combine breadcrumbs with finely grated onion, allowing the onion’s moisture to slightly moisten the crumbs for better texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend all ingredients except the salmon, creating a cohesive base mixture.
- Delicately incorporate salmon chunks into the mixture, maintaining distinct pieces for textural contrast.
- Shape the mixture into uniform patties approximately 1.5cm thick, using a 1/4 cup measure for consistent sizing.
- Place a baking tray in the preheated oven for 2 minutes to heat the surface and promote crispy edges.
- Carefully transfer patties onto the hot tray, lightly misting the tops with oil to enhance golden browning.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then gently flip the patties and spray again with oil to ensure even crispness.
- Continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until the exterior turns a rich, appetizing golden brown.
- Plate the fish cakes immediately, accompanied by a dollop of cool sour cream or tangy yogurt for complementary contrast.
Notes
- Keep salmon chunks large for better texture and visible fish pieces in each bite.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs to make recipe suitable for celiac or gluten-sensitive diets.
- Pat salmon dry before mixing to prevent excess moisture and ensure crispy exterior.
- Try different herbs like dill or parsley to enhance flavor profile and add freshness.
