Ingredients

• 450 grams Salmon fillets (skinless)
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons Teriyaki sauce
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season lightly with salt and black pepper, then bake for 12-15 minutes or until just cooked through.

Step 3

While the salmon cools, finely chop the green onions and set aside.

Step 4

Once the salmon has cooled, flake it apart with a fork into a large mixing bowl, discarding any bones or tough bits.

Step 5

Add the panko breadcrumbs, teriyaki sauce, green onions, egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly until the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, cook the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the Teriyaki Salmon Cakes warm, garnished with additional teriyaki sauce or a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
