Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Cut the salmon filet into small chunks and place them in a food processor. Pulse a few times until the salmon is coarsely chopped, being careful not to over-process it. Transfer the salmon to a large mixing bowl.
-
To the bowl with the salmon, add the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, parsley, red bell pepper, green onions, egg, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
-
Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix as you want the salmon cakes to be tender.
-
Using your hands, divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place the salmon cakes on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon cakes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Transfer the seared salmon cakes back to the baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to ensure the salmon is fully cooked.
-
Remove the salmon cakes from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, or your favorite sauce.
-
Serve the salmon cakes warm alongside a crisp salad or your choice of sides. Enjoy the delicious flavors of tender salmon and aromatic herbs in every bite!
