Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/2 red pepper finely chopped
- 1/2 white onion finely chopped
- 3 Spring onions finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic finely chopped
- 2 Small dried chilies finely chopped
- 1 Teaspoon dried coriander
- Small bunch of fresh coriander finely chopped
- 1/2 Cup bread crumbs fine
- Sea salt
- Fresh ground pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Flour for dredging the cakes
- Minted Yogurt Dip for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the salmon in an oven proof dish, drizzle with one tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Once cooled, remove skin and any bones that you may find and discard. Flake the salmon apart and set aside.
- In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil, garlic, peppers, white onions and spring onions. Cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, dried chilies, dried coriander and fresh chopped coriander to the bowl. Give a good stir to combine and then add in the flaked salmon. Stir well to combine.
- Turn your mixture out onto a clean working surface. Make your cakes as big or as small as you like them. Work them into balls and start shaping them into patties of your choice size and height. Once you have made all your patties, dredge them in the flour and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Have heat set to medium high. Fry the salmon cakes in batches about 3 to 4 minutes per side. They should be golden and crisp on the outside. Serve immediately with a sauce of your choice or the suggested Minted Yogurt Dip.
