Ingredients
-
- 600–800 g (21–28 oz) salmon scraps or 200 g (7 oz) boneless salmon fillet (cooked)
- 3 tbsp chopped scallions
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup celery leaves (finely chopped)
- 2–3 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp of sea salt
- a sprinkling of freshly cracked pepper
Instructions
With scraps:
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
- Put salmon trimmings into a casserole dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until fish is cooked.
- When fish is cooked, remove from oven and let cool.
- When cool enough to handle, carefully remove the meat from the bones. Be watchful for the stray fishbone. Discard skin and bones. Keep any oil for frying later.
- Combine salmon meat with chopped scallions, garlic powder, paprika, chopped celery leaves, breadcrumbs, egg, lemon zest, ginger powder, a pinch of nutmeg, Dijon, salt and a sprinkling of black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined and refrigerate until ready to fry.
- When ready to fry, add a drizzle of oil to a frying pan on medium/medium-high heat.
- Using your hands, form mixture into patties and place in the hot frying pan.
- Cook until golden brown on both sides (should be 5-7 minutes on each side). Try not to flip the salmon patties more than once as they can easily fall apart.
- When golden brown on both sides, remove from heat and serve with your favorite sauce.
