  • 1/4 c yogurt
  • 2 scallions
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 1 T dill
  • 3/4 t black pepper
  • 3 t olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 celery
  • 2 T parsley
  • 15 oz salmon
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 t Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 c breadcrumbs
  • 1 lemon

Easy Salmon Cakes with Creamy Dill Sauce Directions

  1. Combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, scallions, lemon juice, dill, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper in a small bowl. Mix well, cover, and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 450˚F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
  3. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and sauté about 3 minutes, until lightly softened. Add the parsley and remove from heat.
  4. Place the salmon in a mixing bowl. Remove any bones or skin, and flake apart with a fork. Add the beaten egg and Dijon mustard and mix well. Stir in the sautéed onion and celery, then the breadcrumbs and remaining pepper. Shape into 8 patties about 2 1/2 inches wide.
  5. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Arrange 4 of the patties in the pan and cook, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes, until the underside is golden. Use a large spatula to transfer the patties to the prepared baking sheet, golden side down. Repeat with the remaing 4 patties. 
  6. Bake until golden on top and hot all the way through, 15-20 minutes.
  7. Serve with the creamy dill sauce and slices of lemon.
