Recipe: Tasty Gourmet Salmon Cakes

Gourmet Salmon Cakes. If you wanted something as elegant and tasty as fresh crab cakes but you don't have the money just now, this dish is a great alternative! These are not your run-of-the-mill salmon patties, nope. These are moist, thick, flavorful (yet mild) salmon cakes with a lot of eye appeal. Here is how you cook that. The difference between my salmon fish cakes recipe and that of Jamie Oliver's is minor.

Having inspired myself with his recipe which you can access here, you'll see that I've tweaked it. I took out the frozen peas element because quite frankly I didn't want the peas to ruin the consistency of the salmon and potato mixture. Make-Ahead: The salmon cakes can be fully cooked and refrigerated up to several hours ahead of time. You can have Gourmet Salmon Cakes using 14 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

I doubled the recipe ingredients, and used one fourteen and a half oz. can of pink salmon). If you use canned salmon, be sure to omit the additional salt, and to press out all liquid from the salmon. I increased the cayenne pepper a bit, and the dear hub couldn't say enough good about these salmon cakes -- even with canned salmon. I like this recipe much better than salmon cakes with bread crumbs.
