How to Make Fresh Salmon Cakes With Lime Ginger And Herbs

  1. Boil, microwave, or steam 1 lb potatoes until tender. (approx. 15-20 minutes)
  2. Drain the potatoes and mash them until completely smooth.
  3. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.
  4. Add 1 lb salmon fillets to the boiling water and simmer uncovered until cooked through and flakes easily (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Remove the salmon from the water, let it cool slightly, and flake into smaller pieces.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flaked salmon, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 large egg, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp lime zest, and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. Gently mix until just combined.
  7. Shape the mixture into 12 patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
  8. Lightly flour the patties. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 1 egg and 2 tbsp milk. Dip each patty into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in 1 cup breadcrumbs.
  9. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Shallow fry the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
