Curried Salmon Cakes

A deliciously spicy take on salmon cakes: spike 'em with curry! ...

by Erika Nicole Kendall

2 large eggs
2 7oz boned, skinned pink salmon, or 1 can (about 15 oz.) red or pink salmon, drained, skin removed
1/2 cup finely chopped apple
1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
aioli

Beat eggs with a fork. Add salmon and break up. Stir in apple, bread crumbs, onions, mayonnaise, curry powder, paprika, and pepper. Shape into four cakes (3/4 in. thick); place on a piece of plastic wrap.

Set a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add oil, then salmon cakes. Cook until well browned on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn cakes over and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes longer.

Serve cakes with aioli.

Opened a can of salmon yesterday so I could have a throwback childhood breakfast – salmon and grits. Now I know what to do with the rest of the can. I hope these freeze well…will be making but not eating these tonight.

I always thought that canned foods weren’t good for you. I thought they had more sodium in them and that made them unhealthy. Am I missing something?

  This isn’t true for ALL canned products – there are brands of lots of canned items that are more mindful of the salt.
  
  If anything, I’m more concerned about the actual canning process, but I’m still researching that.

I hate salmon but really want to start eating more of it and that is a really hard thing to do. However I love love love curry. I will give this a try for sure. My goal is to eat fish at least 2-3 times a week for dinner. I’m sure this will help and be a something that can be put together quickly.

I love making Salmon Croquettes! I use some of the ingredients you have listed, but I’m gonna try your alternative to see how I like it with the curry. What sides do you use with your Salmon Cakes?

Love salmon and couldn’t wait to try this recipe. Made it for dinner yesterday BUT, since I don’t eat mayonnaise, I substituted Trader Joe’s spicy hummus. OMG! Was indescribably good. If salmon wasn’t so expensive I’d eat this every day. Fortunately, the recipe yielded enough for two more dinners.
