Asian Salmon Patties with Teriyaki Mayo
30 MIN
Ingredients
Patties:
- 1/4 cup minced green onion
- 3 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp orange juice
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 14-oz cans wild salmon, drainedÂ
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Teriyaki Mayo:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise, any variety
- 1 Tbsp orange juice
- 2 tsp teriyaki sauce
Optional:
- Black or white sesame seeds
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together the first seven ingredients (green onion through ground ginger). Drain salmon and remove large bones if you like (FYI, they’re harmless if you eat them. Calcium!). Add salmon and panko and fold in with the wet ingredients (easiest with your hands). Add the eggs and continue to fold everything together until well combined. Shape into 6-8 patties. Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot (oil should be shimmering), add patties in a single layer (you may need to cook in two batches) and allow to sear. Cover (to minimize oil splatter) and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook 3-4 minutes more. In a small dish, whisk together the mayonnaise, orange juice, and teriyaki sauce. Top salmon patties with the teriyaki mayo. Garnish with sesame seeds. Serve with raw or quickly steamed/sauteed sugar snap peas.
Make Ahead Tips
Up to 2 days in advance: Prepare the patty mixture and refrigerate. Shape the patties just before cooking them. The sauce can also be prepared and refrigerated.
