Crunchy Salmon Patties Recipes

CRISPY CRUNCHY SALMON PATTIES (SALMON CAKES)

Steps:

• Add enough oil to cover the bottom of a large nonstick skillet to a depth of 1/4 inch. Preheat the pan with the oil on medium heat while you prepare the salmon.
• Combine the salmon, the eggs, and 1/2 cup of Italian breadcrumbs. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined. Pour the 1/2 cup of remaining breadcrumbs on a plate.
• Form the mixture into round patties about the size of the center of your palm. Place the formed patty on the breadcrumbs on the plate; pat gently to make the breadcrumbs stick, then flip and pat the other side into the breadcrumbs.
• Slip each patty gently into the pan. Fry on one side for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cooked side is golden brown. Flip the patty and fry the other side the same way.
• When both sides are golden brown, remove to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm.

CRUNCHY SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Place your Panko in a shallow dish.
• Mix all other ingredients for the cakes in a bowl with your hands until they will form a patty. If they are too mushy add a few more crushed crackers, too dry a little more lime juice.
• Place the patties in the panko and coat both sides.
• Get oil and the butter hot in pan (turn down slightly when you put in the patties because you don't want them to burn before they cook).
• After they have cooked on one side take your spatula and carefully lift up one side to see if they are brown underneath, if they are, then flip em'. Cook till both sides are golden brown.
• ENJOY!

SLAMMIN' SALMON CRUNCHY CAKES WITH GAYLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine ingredients for the Gayla sauce and refrigerate.
• Sautee red pepper about 3 minutes in a non stick skillet in some butter or margarine. Add chopped garlic for the last thirty seconds.
• Combine peppers and garlic and all the rest of the ingredients except corn flakes in a bowl and mix together.
• Make four equal sized balls of this mixture and roll well into cornflake crumbs. Pat crumbs firmly and make sure it is well coated.(Balls will be about the size of a small baseball).
• Place balls on platter and press into patties about 1 inch thick.
• Fry immediately in a few tablespoons of hot oil in a non stick skillet on medium high heat. (You don't want them to sit around too long or the cornflakes will absorb moisture from the patties and not fry up as crispy.) Sear them quickly but of course, do not burn them about 3 or 4 minutes a side.
• NOTE: After mixing all the ingredients together you may refrigerate this to stiffen mixture up but I don't find it necessary unless you have used a very large egg. You may also make everything ahead of time and refrigerate. Simply remove about an hour before dinner and bring to room temperature or they will be hot on the outside but cold in the middle. Just don't roll in the cornflake crumbs until the last minute.
• Another Note: For a nice variation feel free to add 1/2 tsp or so of cumin to give these a "Tex-Mex" taste topped with some chili con queso. Yum! Be creative! This is a drop-to-the-floor-crawl-to-the-door moist patty. Make it as directed the first time and then EXPERIMENT! Make it your own.
