How To Make salamon cakes

  • Step 1
    Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon fat in a small saute pan over low heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Cool
  • Step 2
    Mix the bacon, onion, egg, mayonnaise, mustard, sugar and lemon zest in a bowl. Add the salmon and potato, mixing gently after each addition.
  • Step 3
    Form the mixture into 12 small patties. In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan salt and pepper to taste. Coat the patties in the bread crumbs, set on tray to rest while making the sauce.
  • Step 4
    LEMON YOGURT SAUCE Mix together the Greek Yogurt capers, lemon juice and zest, dill horshradish and salt and pepper.
  • Step 5
    Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in batches until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side, remove and add more oil as needed to finish the rest of the patties.
  • Step 6
    Arrange on platter and serve with the yogurt sauce. Enjoy!
  • Step 7
    Note; these can be a little fragile handling, sometimes I find adding a second egg, helps hold them together.
