Wild Salmon Cakes FROM CAFÉ 440 “We like this recipe because salmon is a great Northwest resource,” says Martha Schuetz, co-owner of Café 440. “We use an amazing Alaskan wild salmon in this dish.” Schuetz suggests salmon cakes as a nice alternative to crab cakes if you’re cooking for yourself at home because it’s more affordable. Make these cakes a little larger than the 2-ounce balls called for, and put them in a bun for a salmon burger. 1lb. wild salmon, cooked and cooled 1/2 yellow onion, 3 stalks celery, 1 red pepper (skinned and seeded) – all diced small, and sautéed until soft, and cooled 1 roasted jalapeño, finely diced 1/4 cup corn kernels 1 tsp. chopped garlic salt and pepper 1 egg 1/4 cup mayonnaise juice of 1 lemon 1 tblsp. chopped cilantro 3/4 cup breadcrumbs oil for sautéing Mix all ingredients together well, except breadcrumbs. Portion into 2-ounce balls. Roll each ball in breadcrumbs. Let rest in the refrigerator for one hour. Saute until golden brown and hot. chow.eugeneweekly.com
