1 can of sockeye salmon (213 g) or equal amount of freshly cooked salmon
2 medium size potatoes or 1 large potato
2 stocks of green onions
1/2 cup of flour
1 large egg
Salt for seasoning
bread crumb
Steps:
- Cut the potatoes with skin on into 1 inch cubes and cook them in boiling water for 10 minutes until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork.
- Drain all liquid from the potatoes and mash the potatoes with a fork. Set aside.
- Drain all liquid from the can salmon and removed the salmon skin.
- Mash the salmon in a large bowl and sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder
- Add chopped green onions and mashed potatoes, then the egg, flour, salt, and mix everything together. You should have a relatively dry, sticky paste.
- Spread bread crumb into a small plate.
- Use the spoon to scoop up a egg size paste and roll it into a ball using your hands. Dip the salmon potato ball into the bread crumb until it's fully coated. Press the ball lightly until it forms the shape of a small, flat disk.
- Heat up a frying pan at medium heat drizzled with oil. After the frying pan is heated, cook the salmon cake a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
I keep the bones in the can salmon as they contains a lot of calcium. They are very soft and can be mashed easily.
