  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb fresh salmon fillet (skinless, boneless)
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
– 2 large eggs
– 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
– 2 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)
– Salt and pepper (to taste)
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Vegetable oil (for frying)


Instructions

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

1. Prepare the Salmon: Cook the salmon fillet by steaming or poaching it until fully cooked. Flake the salmon into small pieces and set aside to cool.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches wide. You should get approximately 8 cakes.
4. Chill: Place the formed patties in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This helps them hold their shape while cooking.
5. Prepare the Aioli: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
6. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
7. Fry 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 golden brown and crispy.
8. Drain: Once cooked, remove the cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
9. Serve: Arrange the cakes on a platter and drizzle with additional Sriracha if desired. Serve alongside the Sriracha Aioli for dipping.
