Moosewood Dressed Up Salmon Cakes With Herbed Mayonnaise Recipes

Steps:

• Chop potatoes, onions, and carrots.
• Place in a large covered saucepan with water to cover.
• Bring to a boil; then lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
• Place the fish on top of the vegetables, return to a simmer, and cook for about 2 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Drain in a colander.
• In a large bowl, mash the drained vegetables and fish with a potato masher until thoroughly mixed.
• Add the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, fresh lemon juice, herbs, chopped garlic, salt, pepper and ¼ cup of the cracker meal or breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly.
• In a skillet or frying pan, heat about ¼ inch of oil until it sizzles. (Less oil is needed in a nonstick frying pan.)
• With the cracker meal or bread crumbs handy and working over a large plate, pat and shape the fish mixture into six cakes.
• As you finish each one, sprinkle both sides with cracker meal and carefully place it in the pan.
• Fry the cakes for about 4 minutes on the first side, until golden brown and crisped.
• Then flip the cakes and cook for 2 or 3 minutes on the other side.
• Drain on paper towels to absorb some of the oil.
• Serve with lemon wedges, or combine all of the Herbed Mayonnaise ingredients to offer, if you wish.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients (except salmon).
• Stir well.
• Add a few dashes of seasoning salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Taste for seasoning preference. All measurements are approximate.
• Place fish into a baking pan sprayed with oil or rubbed with olive oil or butter.
• Season lightly with seasoned salt and pepper then generously spread mayo mixture all over the top of the fish. Make it to the thickness you prefer. I had about 1/4 in or so.
• Bake uncovered in a 450 degree oven until fish is almost done (mine took 15-20 min for fillets which seemed a bit long, but they weren't done.)
• Then broil until lightly golden.

Steps:

• Heat the grill.
• Place 450g floury potatoes, cut into chunks, in a pan of water, bring to the boil, cover and cook for 12-15 mins until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry, then mash.
• Meanwhile, season 350g salmon fillet and grill for 5-6 mins until just cooked. Cool for a few mins, then break into large flakes.
• Mix the potato, 2 tsp tomato ketchup, 1 tsp English mustard, the zest of ½ lemon, 1 heaped tbsp chopped parsley, 1 heaped tbsp chopped dill and some seasoning. Lightly mix in the salmon, taking care not to break it up too much.
• Shape into 4 large fish cakes.
• Put 3 tbsp plain flour, 1 beaten egg and 100g dried breadcrumbs in 3 shallow dishes. Dip the cakes into the flour, dust off any excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.
• Heat 4 tbsp sunflower oil in a large pan. Fry the cakes over a medium-low heat for 3-4 mins each side until deep golden and heated through.
• Serve with salad and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Whisk 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 minced green onions, lemon juice, and grated lemon peel in small bowl to blend. Season lemon mayonnaise to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Combine remaining 4 green onions and chopped parsley in food processor; blend until finely chopped. Add cubed salmon, Dijon mustard, and remaining 1 tablespoon mayonnaise. Using on/off turns, blend until salmon is coarsely chopped. Transfer salmon mixture to large bowl. Mix in breadcrumbs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. With moistened hands and using about 1/3 cupful for each, shape salmon mixture into 8 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick. Brush both sides of salmon cakes with olive oil.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill salmon cakes to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium. Divide patties among 4 plates. Serve lemon mayonnaise alongside.

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients in medium bowl and stir gently to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in egg. Shape salmon mixture into 6 patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Arrange on plate.
• Combine 3/4 cup mayonnaise, lemon juice, horseradish and 2 1/2 teaspoons thyme in small bowl. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Salmon cakes and sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap separately and refrigerate.)
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add salmon cakes and sauté until brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Serve with sauce.
