Description

These golden-brown salmon patties offer a comforting, home-style meal with a sophisticated twist. The fish cakes are made with flaked salmon, fresh parsley, and a hint of heat from hot sauce, bound together for a tender yet crispy texture. They are paired with a luxurious homemade lemon cheese sauce that adds creamy richness and a bright citrus finish. This dish is perfect for weeknight dinners when you want something hearty but quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain the salmon, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid, then flake the fish into a bowl.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  3. Add the flour to the melted butter, stirring constantly to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the reserved salmon liquid and the milk.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the grated onion, minced parsley, dry mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Beau Monde seasoning, and hot sauce.
  7. Fold in the flaked salmon, beaten egg, and half of the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs.
  8. Shape the mixture into 6 equal patties.
  9. Dredge the patties in the remaining breadcrumbs.
  10. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  11. Fry the patties for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Drain patties on paper towels and keep warm.
  13. For the sauce, melt the butter for the sauce in a clean saucepan.
  14. Stir in the flour for the sauce and cook for 1 minute.
  15. Gradually add the milk for the sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  16. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks.
  17. Slowly whisk 1/4 cup of the hot sauce mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
  18. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
  19. Stir in the shredded cheese, lemon juice for the sauce, salt for the sauce, and a dash of pepper for the sauce.
  20. Cook for 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  21. Serve the salmon patties topped with the lemon cheese sauce.

Note

If you cannot find Beau Monde seasoning, substitute with a blend of onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of sweet basil and thyme.

For a lighter version, you can bake the patties at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of frying, flipping halfway through.

Ensure the sauce is not too hot when adding the egg yolks to prevent curdling; tempering them slowly is key to a smooth texture.

Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven.
