Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler or prepare grill on top of stove.

  2. Step 2

    Chop whole onion; wash and chop dill, and rinse capers. Mix ingredients together with horseradish and egg whites in a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients.

  3. Step 3

    Grill or broil salmon following the Canadian rule: measure fish at thickest point and cook 8 minutes to the inch. When salmon is cooked, flake and stir into bowl, and mix well. Shape into 4 patties.

  4. Step 4

    Grill patties on top of stove, or preheat a nonstick skillet and saute them until brown on both sides, about 4 or 5 minutes total.

I just kind of used this as a template for a salmon cake. I added cooked shallot, red bell pepper, two eggs beaten, (not the whites), panko bread crumbs, red pepper flakes, parsley and whatever spices I felt like. Turned out great.

I wondered how these would stay together without bread or cracker crumbs -- they didn't. Flavor was good though so I'll try it with crumbs. Will add pepper coulis.

I agree the previous comments. Add breadcrumbs, salt, pepper. Also: chill the patties for 30 minutes before cooking as per usual with fishcakes. Serve on lettuce. Delicious!

I just made these and mmmm! I used 1 can salmon and 1 can smoked tuna. I briefly sautéed the onions because I cannot stand it if any of the onion is raw. I added 1/2 tsp Dijon too. I also added panko, but they still fell apart. No matter! Squeeze of lemon after and it's amazing.

I also added egg and breadcrumbs. I put the cakes on a sweet potato slider roll with some horseradish mayo and lettuce and I can't stop eating them! Delicious!

I made these with a pound of salmon, broiled as direct. I added 1/2 cup panko as suggested, one whole and 1 egg white. Also to up the flavor I added Dijon, lemon juice, a a pinch or two of sugar. I rolled them in crushed saltines and refrigerated overnight. Fried them in a small amount of oil. Ended up being delicious.
