Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by draining the canned salmon in a colander. Use a fork to break up the salmon into smaller chunks. Check for any bones and skin, and remove them if desired.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the drained salmon, finely chopped onion, and black pepper.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl and mix everything together until the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be moist and hold together when shaped.
- Take a small portion of the mixture and form it into a patty or cake shape using your hands. Aim for each cake to be about the size of your palm and roughly 1 inch thick.
- Repeat until all the mixture is used up. You should get about 8-10 salmon cakes, depending on the size.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Be sure the oil is hot but not smoking, to avoid burning the cakes.
- Carefully place the salmon cakes into the skillet, leaving space between each one. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook the salmon cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them gently to prevent breaking.
- Once the salmon cakes are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, salad, or side dish.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: If possible, choose the freshest canned salmon and onions you can find to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Drain the salmon well: Make sure to fully drain the canned salmon to avoid excess moisture that can make the cakes soggy.
- Finely chop the onion: Chop the onion finely so that it mixes well with the other ingredients and cooks evenly.
- Preheat the grill: Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high before cooking the salmon cakes for an even and consistent cook.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: Cook the salmon cakes in batches if necessary, leaving enough space between each cake to allow for even grilling.
- Use a non-stick cooking spray: Spray a bit of non-stick cooking spray on the grill grates to prevent the salmon cakes from sticking.
