Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 Garlic Clove (Minced)
- 4 Salmon Fillet (I use sockeye salmon)
- 1 Tbsp Mayo
- t Tsp Ginger (I use ground ginger)
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (I use fresh gluten free breadcrumbs)
- 1/4 cup Green Onion
- 1 Roasted red pepper (a regular red pepper is fine)
- 1 Small Onion
- 4 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 Tsp Fish Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Red Thai Chili Paste
- 3 Tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce
- Cilantro (Garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Set oven to 400°
- Prep time: the prep time for this dish is to dice up the roasted red pepper and the onion. You can also make your own breadcrumbs by pulsing bread in a food processor or you can purchase pre-made breadcrumbs or panko.
- Place oil in the pan: and sauté the green onion, onion, and red pepper until they are golden brown. Add the garlic and fry for a minute. Then add the ginger and the sweet chili sauce.
- Meanwhile bake your salmon: drizzle with olive oil and season the salmon with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Place on parchment paper (or a baking sheet) and put them on the baking tray. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. If the internal temperature of the salmon is not 145° that is okay because they will finish cooking when you fry the cakes.
- When the fish is done: place in the bowl of a food processor in addition to the rest of the ingredients. Blend together and form the cakes.
- Reuse the frying pan: from sautéing the vegetables. Add more oil and place the fish cakes in the pan. The cooking time for the salmon fish cakes is about 2-3 minutes per side. If they are golden brown, they are good to go. You can also check the internal temperature to see if it is 145°F.
- Place on a platter: top with the garnishes of your choice and serve immediately
