Ingredients
- 1small onion
- 2tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1cup sweet corn, scraped off cob
- 2cups cooked salmon
- 3large potatoes, skinned, boiled and mashed (about 2 cups)
- ½cup Italian parsley, minced
- 1tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1fresh green chili, seeded and minced (or more to taste)
- 2large eggs
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Approximately 2 cups plain dry bread crumbs
- ½cup peanut or vegetable oil
- 1lemon, quartered
Preparation
- Step 1
Soften the onion in the butter. Add the corn and saute for one minute. Combine with the salmon and potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the parsley, mustard, chili and eggs and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Step 2
Shape the salmon mixture into small patties about three inches across and roll them in bread crumbs. Place them on a rack to dry for about 15 minutes.
- Step 3
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Cook the patties three or four at a time, so that they do not crowd the pan, until they are lightly browned on both sides. Drain them on paper towels and keep them warm in a low oven until you are ready to eat. Serve with the lemon quarters.

Excellent - we did have to adjust for what we had on hand. No corn or jalapeno, so an additional onion & some strong homemade pesto. Patted into cakes & refrigerated for an hour, then baked on oiled parchment paper (no crumbs or frying) until crispy, turning once. Served with fresh dill caper sauce (homemade mayo, lots of chopped fresh dill, extra lemon juice & capers) and a side of grilled garden zucchini.
I made this with canned salmon and baked the salmon patties in the oven. Rave reviews!
I used frozen corn, otherwise made as per recipe… cakes were delicious! I made a sauce using 2 heaping T of avocado oil mayo, a couple teaspoons Dijon mustard, zest of a whole lemon and 1/4 teaspoon dried dill… so yummy! I needed to make more each time we enjoyed a couple of the salmon cakes, which are also delicious on top of a green salad, using the sauce as a salad dressing!
Oops forgot to mention that I also used gluten free panko as I have celiac. Letting the cakes sit for the 15 minute drying period really helped them firm up for frying too!
No potatoes or jalapeño so substituted ricotta mixed with flour and chili crisp
