Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh salmon fillet
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 Green onion, finely sliced
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the fresh salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until just cooked through.

Step 3

Allow the salmon to cool slightly, then flake it into small pieces with a fork.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, green onion, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture holds together when pressed.

Step 6

Use your hands to shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, add the salmon cakes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Cook the cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 10

Remove the cooked salmon cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of fresh flavor.
