Salmon And Crab Cakes Recipes

SALMON AND CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Bring potatoes to boil in salted water and cook until tender.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season salmon with salt and pepper, and rub with half of lemon juice. Bake in oven for 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Drain cooked potatoes and mash them with a fork in a large bowl. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a small saucepan. Add mustard seeds. When they are fragrant, pour contents of pan over potatoes. Add crabmeat, remaining lemon juice, half the cilantro, half the ginger and salmon. Mix ingredients together. Add half the chilies, or season to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Shape into 6 large patties, 12 small ones or 24 small ovals. Arrange on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours.
• Mix mayonnaise with remaining cilantro, chilies and ginger. Refrigerate.
• Season flour with salt and pepper in one dish. Beat eggs with 2 tablespoons water in another dish. Dip cakes lightly in flour, then in egg, then in panko.
• Heat oil that is 1/4 inch deep in a large skillet. Fry cakes over medium heat, turning once (about 5 minutes per side), until cakes are browned. Serve hot or at room temperature, with seasoned mayonnaise alongside.

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.

SAFFRON SALMON'S DUNGENESS CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• For the binding sauce: In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, parsley leaves, lemon juice, capers, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish and green onions. Mix for about 1 minute.
• For the shrimp puree: In the clean bowl of the food processor, puree the prawns until smooth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp puree with half the binding sauce. Mix well.
• For the remoulade: In the clean bowl of the food processor, combine the cocktail sauce, sun-dried tomatoes and hot sauce with the remainder of the binding sauce and blend for 1 minute until well mixed. Set aside.
• For the crab cakes: Fold all of the crab into the shrimp puree mixture. Mix in 3/4 cup panko. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• In 3 separate bowls, place the beaten eggs, flour and remaining 1 cup panko. Divide the crab cake mixture into 6 balls. Form each ball into a cake that is approximately 1-inch thick, using a dry measuring cup as an aid. One at a time, dip each cake first into the flour, then the egg and then the panko. You may need a little more panko to get them well coated.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a large, ovenproof skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat and brown the crab cakes evenly on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. If the heat is too hot, adjust it down a little. Transfer the crab cakes to the oven and bake to cook through, about 10 minutes. Turn over as needed so the crab cakes do not brown too much on one side.
• Serve the hot crab cakes with the sun-dried tomato remoulade.
