Equipment

  • 1 Large Pan
  • 1 Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 5 Garlic Clove Minced
  • 4 Salmon Fillet I use sockeye salmon
  • 1 tablespoon Mayo
  • t teaspoon Ginger I use ground ginger
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup Breadcrumbs I use fresh gluten free breadcrumbs
  • ¼ Cup Green Onion
  • 1 Roasted red pepper a regular red pepper is fine
  • 1 Small Onion
  • 4 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Fish Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Red Thai Chili Paste
  • 3 tablespoon 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
