Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh salmon filet
  • Garlic Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 Tbsp mayo
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup parsley

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 425 °F. Using parchment paper or a silpat, line a baking sheet with a rim. Garlic salt and black pepper should be added after you place the salmon skin-side down and spray it with olive oil. Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until just done (my thinner cut salmon was closer to 10 min). Take out of oven, shield with foil, and let stand for 10 minutes. Salmon should be skinless, boneless, and flaked with forks before cooling to room temperature.
  • Over medium heat, preheat a medium skillet. Add 1 Tbsp butter, 1 Tbsp olive oil, and bell pepper and onion sliced small. Remove from heat after sautéing for 7-9 minutes or until tender and golden.
  • Cooled flaked salmon, sautéed onion and pepper, 1 cup bread crumbs, 3 Tbsp mayo, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 cup fresh parsley are all combined in a large mixing bowl. After combining, form the mixture into 13–14 patties. Using a flat ice cream scoop, it is simple to split out the patties and then flatten them into 1/3 to 1/2″ thick patties.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Once the butter has finished sizzling, add half of the salmon cakes and cook for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and well cooked. Reduce heat if salmon cakes start to brown too rapidly. Remove to a plate covered with paper towels.
