Homemade Remoulade Sauce and Salmon Cakes

Step 1

To make salmon patties, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium. Saute the onion, red pepper, celery, and a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add capers and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Mix together the salmon, onion mixture, mayonnaise, 1/4 cup panko, garlic, mustard, cayenne, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper together in a bowl until well-mixed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1-2 hours.

Step 3

Form salmon mixture into round patties then sprinkle remaining panko bread crumbs over each patty.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-heat. Cook until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Step 5

To make remoulade, mix all ingredients and season to taste. Process in food processor if you’d like a smooth sauce.

Step 6

Serve hot with remoulade sauce on the side.
