Instructions:
- Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small chunks.
- Place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring it to a boil.
- Cook until the potatoes are tender (about 10-15 minutes). Drain and set aside to cool.
- While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly oiled.
- Bake the salmon for about 15-20 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Let the salmon cool slightly, then flake it into small pieces with a fork.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes and flaked salmon.
- Add the capers and chopped scallions to the bowl.
- Crack the egg into the bowl and mix well to combine.
- Stir in the bread crumbs. The mixture should be cohesive but not too wet; adjust with more bread crumbs if needed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the mixture evenly and shape it into patties (about 8-10 patties depending on desired size).
- Place the patties on a plate or tray.
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add half of the patties to the skillet (don’t overcrowd the pan).
- Sear the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and patties.
- Serve the salmon and potato patties warm, garnished with additional scallions or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
- These patties pair well with a side salad, steamed vegetables, or a light dipping sauce like tartar or yogurt-dill sauce.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, mash the potatoes thoroughly before adding them to the mixture.
- Use fresh salmon for the best flavor, but canned salmon can be a convenient alternative.
- If you'd like a bit more crunch, consider adding finely diced bell peppers or onions to the mixture.
- Chill the patties in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape.
- Cook the patties over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice, crispy crust.
With these simple steps, you can create mouthwatering salmon and potato patties that are sure to please any palate. Enjoy them as a main course or a delightful appetizer. Pair them with a fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal. Happy cooking!
