Salmon Cakes

Ingredients

2 lb. cooked salmon

1 c. fresh bread crumbs

1/2 c. mayonnaise

5 Tbs. fresh basil

1 Tbs. Dijon mustard

2 large eggs

1/2 red onion, minced

3 scallions, minced

1 jalapeno, minced

1 tsp. fresh dill, chopped

1 tsp. hot sauce

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/4 c. canola oil

1 recipe Crunchy Corn Relish

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

2. Chop veggies.

3. Carefully break up the salmon with a fork into large chunks in a large bowl. Add 1/2 c. of the bread crumbs and all the other ingredients except the oil. Stir just until mixed.

3a. Make Crunchy Corn Relish.

4. Form the mixture into twelve 2 1/2-inch cakes. Coat both sides of the cakes lightly with the remaining bread crumbs, shaking off any excess crumbs.

5. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet. Cook 6 to 9 cakes at a time, about 3 mintues per side, turning only once, until light golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain. Transfer the cooked, drained cakes to a baking dish and place in the oven to keep warm while the remaining cakes cook.

6. Serve immediately with Crunchy Corn Relish.
