Ingredients

  • Salmon:
  • 1 lb skinless salmon fillet
  • olive oil, for drizzling
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Patties:
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/3 cup (1/2-ounce) chopped fresh chives
  • Panko crumbs
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus more, as needed
  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Directions

  1. Brush the salmon fillet with olive oil on both sides, sprinkle it with salt and pepper, then bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Using a fork, flake the salmon into 1/2-inch pieces and put into a medium bowl.
  3. Add the egg, chives, 1/2 of the Panko crumbs, the corn, mustard, mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  4. Mix gently until just combined.
  5. Form the mixture into 2 1/2-inch diameter patties, about 3/4 inches thick. (If the mixture is too dry to form into patties, add extra mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon at a time).
  6. Carefully coat the patties in the remaining Panko crumbs and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until golden and crispy, about 7 to 8 minutes each side.
  8. Drain on paper towels.
  9. For the sauce: in a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, capers, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  10. Arrange the salmon cakes on a platter and serve alongside the sauce.
