Salmon is one of the most convenient proteins to cook up on a busy weeknight. Not only is it incredibly delicious and loaded with healthy fats, but it cooks up in absolutely no-time. These flavorful salmon cakes are absolutely bursting with flavor and can be served up with a simple side salad!


Ingredients

1 lb
skinless fresh salmon, cubed
1/2 cup
breadcrumbs
1
shallot, roughly chopped
1/2
red bell pepper, diced
1
celery rib, roughly chopped
2 tbsp
mayonnaise
1 tbsp
Dijon mustard
1 tbsp
Old Bay seasoning
2 tbsp
capers
1 tbsp
oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In the bowl of a food processor, add the salmon, breadcrumbs, shallots, red bell pepper, celery, and mayonnaise. Season with the Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, capers, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth and can be shaped into patties. Divide the mixture into 8 and shape them into patties.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Arrange the salmon cakes on the skillet, making sure to not overcrow the pan. Cook them in batches if necessary. Cook the salmon cakes until they are golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the salmon cakes over and continue to cook until the remaining side is golden and the salmon is cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes.

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
