Sophisticated, quick and easy aren’t three words you often find strung together, unless you’re describing these sure-to-impress crispy, golden salmon cakes. The lighter, more upscale version of tartar sauce is what seals the deal. MORE + LESS -

  • 1
    In medium bowl, beat vinegar, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add sliced cucumber; toss to coat. Cover and keep chilled until ready to serve.
  • 2
    In small bowl, beat Sauce ingredients with whisk. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • 3
    Place salmon in food processor; pulse several times until salmon is finely chopped.
  • 4
    In large bowl, mix salmon, egg, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, the bell pepper, lemon peel, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly. Shape mixture into eight 1-inch cakes (about 1/4 cup each).
  • 5
    Pour remaining 1 cup bread crumbs into shallow bowl. Gently press salmon cakes into crumbs so they adhere. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add salmon cakes; cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through (at least 160°F) and golden brown. Serve with sauce and pickled cucumbers.

Expert Tips

  • Make your life easier, and ask your fishmonger to remove the skin from the salmon for you.
  • Capers are pickled unripened flower buds and can typically be found in most grocery stores. They add a tart, briny flavor to many dishes, including our yogurt sauce.
