Salmon Cakes

  • 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 15 ounces canned salmon, drained, or 1 1/2 cups cooked salmon
  • 1-2 tsp plain yogurt (enough to make everything stick together
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 3/4 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (3 slices of bread)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Cover a baking sheet with a silpat.
  2. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and celery; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Place salmon in a medium bowl. Flake apart with a fork; remove any skin. Add yogurt and mustard; mix well. Add the onion mixture, dill, breadcrumbs and pepper; mix well. Shape the mixture into 8 patties, about 2 1/2 inches wide.
  4. Bake the salmon cakes until golden on top and heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
