Salmon Patties
Description
This recipe starts with skinless salmon fillet cut into chunks combined in a food processor with egg yolk, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, blended briefly to avoid over-processing. The mixture is transferred to a bowl and fresh chopped parsley is stirred in for herbaceous note. Shaped into eight golf ball–sized balls then flattened, the patties are pan fried in neutral oil over medium heat for about one minute per side, cooking just through to retain moisture and firmness.
The salmon's natural flavors are complemented by the citrus brightness from lemon juice and gentle heat of cayenne. Serving the patties warm with lemon wedges and sweet chili sauce adds tang and mild spiciness, balancing the fish taste. This recipe highlights the simplicity of salmon and quick cooking for a fresh-tasting dish.
