Description

This is an easy, light and incredibly moist salmon cake recipe served with a spicy soy and tobanjan dipping sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 thumb size ginger, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless salmon
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons bread crumbs
  • 3 stalks scallions, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Easy Dipping Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons tobanjan
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Add the potatoes to a pot filled with water and boil until cooked through (about 7-10 minutes).
  2. Drain, transfer potatoes to a bowl and mash using a potato masher or fork. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
  3. In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, jalapeno, garlic, onion and ginger. Cook for a few minutes until the onions are soft (about 4 minutes).
  4. Put them in a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  5. Chop the salmon into small pieces (like a tartare), add to the bowl with the potatoes – ONLY when potatoes have cooled down, otherwise the heat will cook the salmon.

Making salmon patties:

  2. In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the patties and cook on each side for about 4 minutes, until the patties are golden brown.
  3. Transfer the salmon patties to a plate and to with scallions. Serve with rice and gochujang soy dipping sauce.
