Servings: 4

Ingredients

Fresh salmon (1 pound, cooked and flaked)
Breadcrumbs (1 cup)
Egg (1, beaten)
Green onions (1/4 cup, chopped)
Fresh dill (2 tablespoons, chopped)
Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
Olive oil (3 tablespoons (for frying))
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped green onions, fresh dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients until everything is evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the salmon.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties about 1/2 inch thick, ensuring they hold together well.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the salmon cakes in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the salmon cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with a generous dollop of zesty remoulade and lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
