How To Make seafood essentials: spicy baked salmon patties

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    You will need a large bowl to mix the ingredients, and a baking sheet to bake the patties. If you have a rack for the baking sheet that would be nice, but not a deal breaker.
  • Step 3
    Lots of good salmon out there and my favorite is Wild Planet. It is sustainably fished and oh so good, you should give it a try.
  • Step 4
    Different salmon brands come in slightly different tins, some are 5 ounces (140g), some are more, some are less. Do not overthink it. Whatever the size, just chuck it in the bowl, and leave the rest of the ingredients the same.
  • Step 5
    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Step 6
    Place a rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400f/205c).
  • Step 7
    Add the salmon and the remainder of the ingredients into a bowl.
  • Step 8
    Gently mix until combined, but do not mix into a mush.
  • Step 9
    You could use a fork or spatula, but I prefer the chef’s best tools, their hands.
  • Step 10
    Take half the mixture, and use your hands to form into a ball, and press into a patty Do the same for the other half.
  • Step 11
    Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and place into the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove, gently flip over, and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Step 12
    If you use a rack in the baking sheet, you will not have to flip them over.
  • Step 13
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • So Yummy
    Step 14
    Serve on a bed of greens or steamed rice, with some tartar sauce and a few lemon slices. Enjoy.
