Salmon cakes tend to have a terrible reputation, often due to the
use of canned salmon and too much mayonnaise.
My version features fresh salmon moistened with cooked onions and
jalapeno pepper, subtly seasoned with allspice and bound together
with panko breadcrumbs and a little milk. The cakes cook in minutes
and then get a powerful flavor punch from a fresh mango salsa.
The trick here is to chop the raw salmon finely enough so that it
binds together but not so much that it lacks body. If you're having
trouble forming the cakes because you've left the salmon too chunky,
chop the combined mixture until it can be easily shaped.
This is a lovely luncheon dish, served on top of baby greens ...
