Easy (10-minute) Waffled Salmon Cakes
Description
Easy (10-minute) Waffled Salmon Cakes use wild canned salmon mixed with binding egg and panko breadcrumbs seasoned with hot sauce, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and scallions. The mixture is shaped in portions and cooked in a mini waffle maker until crisp and browned. This cooking method creates crispy exteriors distinct from traditional pan-fried cakes.
The cakes deliver moist, flavorful salmon bites with a slight spice and creaminess from the condiments. They are light yet filling. The recipe suggests serving them over greens with a squeeze of fresh lemon to brighten the flavors and offer a fresh contrast to the rich fish cakes.
Waffled salmon cakes can also be paired with a remoulade sauce made from light mayonnaise, lemon juice, and capers for added zest or plated on potato buns for a casual sandwich. The recipe accommodates alternate cooking methods such as skillet frying or air frying for versatility.
Ingredients
- 1 oz wild salmon canned
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons seasoned panko (or gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce brand: Franks
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise light
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons scallions chopped
- olive oil spray form
- lemon for serving, wedges
Instructions
- Combine the salmon, egg, panko, hot sauce, mayo, mustard and scallions in a medium bowl and mix.
- Heat your mini waffle maker (love my Dash) and spray with oil.
- Place 1/4 cup at a time and press down until the light shuts off, or the edges are browned and crisp- 3 to 4 minutes.
- Serve over a bed of greens and squeeze lemon over the top.
- If desired, make the remoulade and drizzle on top. Also great on potato buns!
- Optional remoulade sauce: combine light mayo, lemon juice and capers and serve over salmon cakes.
Notes
- If you don’t have a waffle iron, cook the salmon cakes in a skillet about 3 minutes per side or air fry at 400°F for 6 to 8 minutes.
