SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the salmon on a sheet pan, skin side down. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until just cooked. Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes and refrigerate until cold.
• Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of the butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Break the bread slices in pieces and process the bread in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. You should have about 1 cup of bread crumbs. Place the bread crumbs on a sheet pan and toast in the oven for 5 minutes until lightly browned, tossing occasionally.
• Flake the chilled salmon into a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the vegetable mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into 10 (2 1/2 to 3-ounce) cakes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. In batches, add the salmon cakes and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven and serve hot.

FRESH SALMON BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Tear one of the hamburger buns into small pieces and pulse in a food processor until finely ground. Cut the salmon fillet in half. Cut one half into large chunks and the other half into small dice. Add the large chunks to the food processor with the bread crumbs and add the mayonnaise, Dijon, jalapeno, lemon zest, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Pulse until the salmon is ground to a paste. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the diced salmon; fold in the chives and parsley.
• Form the salmon mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the patties, turning once, until well-marked on both sides and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, split and lightly toast the 4 remaining buns.
• Assemble burgers with the lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, mustard and mayonnaise.

CHEF JOHN'S FRESH SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, red pepper, celery, and a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add capers; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
• Stir salmon, onion mixture, mayonnaise, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, garlic, mustard, cayenne, seafood seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper together in a bowl until well-mixed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firmed and chilled, 1 to 2 hours.
• Form salmon mixture into four 1-inch thick patties; sprinkle remaining panko bread crumbs over each patty.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-heat. Cook patties in hot oil until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place fish on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely; pat dry with paper towels. Break salmon into smaller pieces; flake with a fork.
• In a large bowl, combine scallions, breadcrumbs, and parsley. Add mayonnaise, mustard, eggs, lemon juice, and salmon. Season again with salt and pepper, plus an additional flavoring if desired. Mix gently until ingredients just hold together.
• Form mixture into 8 patties (each about 3 inches wide). Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until cold and firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Make Lemon-Herb Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper.
• Heat broiler. Broil patties until lightly golden on top (without turning), 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with Lemon-Herb Sauce.

SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Use a food processor to pulse the salmon into small pieces. The salmon should still have small chunks, not be pulsed into a puree.
• Using a nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 - 1 Tablespoon of oil, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and cook until tender and lightly golden. Cool slightly. Wipe out the skillet and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the salmon, cooked onion, egg, mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, mustard, hot sauce, parsley, 4 Tablespoons of breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix to combine.
• Using an ice cream scoop (or your hands, of course), portion out the salmon into 2-3 inch circles. You will have 14-16 salmon cakes, depending on how big you make them.
• Dredge the salmon cakes in the breadcrumbs.
• Heat about 1 1/ 2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat and cook the salmon for about 3 minutes per side, just until golden brown. The fish cooks very quickly, so don't overcook it by using low heat or covering the skillet, etc. It will be dry, if you're not careful.
• Take the salmon cakes off the heat and drain on a paper towel. Wipe out the skillet and repeat with the rest of the salmon cakes.
• Serve hot or warm. Store leftover salmon in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-5 days.

SALMON PATTIES WITH FENNEL-WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• Either grind your salmon, the onion and the bread through the fine die of the grinder (how I do it), or pulse it a few times in a food processor. Put the mixture in a bowl and mix in the egg white, white pepper, salt, sour cream and dill. Form into patties. Put the patties in the fridge while you make the salad.
• Toss the sliced fennel and red onion with a little salt and the lemon juice and let it marinate for 20 minutes. Cut the cucumber lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon. Slice it thinly and add it to the bowl with the fennel and onion. Stir in the pickled mustard seeds, black pepper, sugar and sunflower oil and set aside.
• I like to grill my salmon burgers. Get your grill very hot and scrape down the grates with a wire brush. Dip a paper towel into some vegetable oil and use tongs to wipe down the grill grates. Set the salmon patties on the grill and cook with the grill cover up for about 3 minutes. Flip and grill for another 3 minutes or so.
• When you are ready to serve, toss the watercress in with the rest of the salad and serve with the salmon patties. Top the patties with the salmon caviar if you have it.
