Salmon Patties with Wasabi Aioli
These rock! They taste incredible. You can make them in less than 20 minutes. And they’re healthy!
Ingredients
- 1 can Salmon (or we've used fresh smoked salmon)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (or panko breadcrumbs)
- 2 tablespoons diced green onions (or chives)
- 1 tablespoon Cajun spice seasoning (I used Zatarains)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- your favorite buns
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste (or less for milder heat) (found in the Asian isle)
Wasabi Aioli or favorite toppings
Instructions
- Mix salmon, egg, 1/2 of the breadcrumbs,seasoning, and pepper in a bowl. Form into 3 or 4 patties.
- Put the rest of the bread crumbs on a plate to press the patties in to coat.
- Heat oil in a skillet just over medium heat. You can use Canola oil if you prefer, Olive oil normally isn't used for frying, but it works for these because they cook up quick. Olive oil has a low smoke point so you just have to be careful it doesn't get too hot.(I use a tiny drop of water from my finger to listen for a sizzle to know the oil is ready. (Just stand back in case it pops)
- Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Serve on on your favorite buns with favorite toppings or give the Wasabi Aioli a try. You could also make a Sriracha Aioli if you don't have the Wasabi, just a few drops to taste. The kids would probably prefer ketchup or mayo.
- To make this, just mix together your wasabi and mayonnaise. If you would like to try a Sriracha aioli instead, just swap sriracha for the wasabi.
