Salmon Cakes with Dill Sauce

Print Recipe

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these salmon cakes are made with fresh herbs and served with a creamy dill sauce for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14.75 oz) salmon, drained and flaked (or 1 1/2 cups cooked fresh salmon)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
  • Dill Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Form mixture into 6–8 patties.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook salmon cakes for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. While cakes are cooking, mix all dill sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Serve salmon cakes warm with a dollop of dill sauce on top or on the side.

Notes

  • Chill the salmon mixture for 20–30 minutes before forming patties to help them hold shape better.
  • You can bake the cakes at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes as a healthier alternative.
  • These also work well in sandwiches or on top of a salad.
