Notes
As you flake your roasted salmon, be sure to check for pin bones! Pick them out and discard
them as you flake the salmon into pieces. Some of the small bones can easily be chewed and
digested, but it's best to remove as many as you can just to be safe.
Oil the palms of your hands before forming the patties. The salmon mixture is going to be a bit
sticky/tacky - which is good because it means the cakes will hold together when they're fried - so
a thin layer of oil is going to help prevent the salmon mixture from sticking to your hands.
Pack the salmon fish cakes firmly, but gently. This will ensure that they hold together well as they
fry and cook all the way through. If you pack the patties too tightly, they won't cook through and
will still be cold in the middle.
Don't skip the Dill Yogurt Sauce! Herby fried salmon cakes pair best with a cool, lemon yogurt
sauce. The contrast in temperature and texture is truly a delight for your taste buds. If you don't
have 3 seconds to make homemade yogurt sauce, grab some tzatziki from the store!
