How To Make salmon corncakes

• 1

  NOTE: When poaching salmon, whether to serve on its own or to use as an ingredient, season your liquid well with white wine, peppercorns, celery leaves, fresh parsley and a bay leaf for greatest flavor.

  Combine water, wine, bay leaf, peppercorns, parsley and celery leaves in a shallow 8x8\" pan; slowly bring to a boil, reduced to a simmer and add salmon steaks.

  Simmer until salmon is just cooked through - 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness; remove with a slotted spatula, drain and cool slightly.

  To the salmon add corn, shallots, red pepper, celery and cilantro; fold together gently with a rubber spatula.

  Gently fold the egg, egg whites and 1/4 cup of the cracker crumbs into the salmon mixture.

  Form into 8 large or 12 medium-sized patties.

  Lay some cracker crumbs on a plate and coat the patties on both sides, using more crumbs as needed; refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 hour.
