Follow these easy steps to create your Spicy Salmon Cakes with Sriracha Aioli:

1. Prepare the Salmon: In a large bowl, flake the fresh salmon into small pieces using a fork.
2. Mix Ingredients: Add the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, green onions, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Cakes: Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches wide. You should get around 8 cakes.
4. Chill: Place the formed cakes on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This helps them hold their shape during cooking.
5. Prepare the Aioli: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lemon juice, and salt. Stir until smooth and set aside.
6. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat.
7. Cook the Cakes: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon cakes to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the cakes from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
9. Serve: Plate the salmon cakes and serve them warm with a side of Sriracha aioli for dipping.

These steps will guide you in creating these delightful cakes effortlessly.
