Herby Salmon Cakes

Herby Salmon Cakes combine finely diced salmon with fresh green onion, cilantro, parsley, eggs, olive oil, and seasoning, held together with panko breadcrumbs. Grilled until golden, they offer a tender, flavorful fish patty. Served alongside smashed avocado seasoned with citrus juices and fresh chives, this dish balances herbaceous, rich, and creamy notes.

Description

The salmon is finely chopped to create a uniform texture and mixed with fresh herbs and green onions, eggs, olive oil, and a seasoning blend to bring savory depth. Panko breadcrumbs are gently folded in to bind the mixture and add subtle crunch after cooking.

The salmon patties are grilled on medium heat for a few minutes on each side until cooked through with slight browning, ensuring a tender inside. The accompanying smashed avocado, seasoned with lime and lemon juice plus salt, pepper, and chives, adds a bright, creamy contrast to the fish cakes.

This combination is simple but fresh, highlighting the salmon's flavor with herbs and seasoning without overpowering it. The recipe suggests serving the salmon cakes with this avocado preparation or your favorite guacamole or salsa for extra flavor.
