Recipe: Salmon Cakes in Dill Mustard Sauce

Here's a delicious salmon recipe I'm quite fond of. These salmon cakes are quite similar in theory to crab cakes that are quite popular here on the East Coast. I've been in a bit of a saucy mood lately, so this recipe is paired with another mustard sauce with some Dill added in to really enhance the flavors.

Ingredients

Salmon Cakes

• 5 cups (2lbs) of poached, baked, or broiled salmon, flaked
• 1 cup cooked rice (about 1/3 cup uncooked)
• 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs (wheat germ is also acceptable)
• 1 small, red onion minced
• 1/4 cup minced fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• 1 1/2 tablespoons horseradish
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup unbleached all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Dill Mustard Sauce

• 2.5 tablespoons grainy mustard
• 2.5 tablespoons smooth honey mustard
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh dill

In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon, rice, bread crumbs, onion, dill, capers, horseradish, lemon juice. Mix well. Bind the mixture with the beaten eggs and mayonnaise. Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for about two hours to let it bind.

Preheat the oven to 375°. Lightly coat a baking tray in oil. Place flour in a shallow dish with salt, pepper, and paprika. Pull the salmon mixture out of the fridge then use your hands to form the salmon mixture into ~3 inch, plump patties. Coat them lightly in the seasoned flour and place them on the flat baking tray in a single layer. Bake the patties on the middle rack for 15 minutes (you can sautee or grill them if you like as well.)

To prepare the sauce, whisk both mustards together in a small mixing bowl, then blend in the vinegar and honey. Gradually whisk in  the oil in a thin, steady stream. Stir in the dill and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Enjoy!
