Wild Alaskan Salmon Cakes

Serves 2 as Main Dish.

Inspired by this staple classic found throughout Atlantic Canada, and with the basic ingredients on hand, I put this together for a realively easy dinner.

• 6 oz Wild Salmon
  
• c plain mashed potatoes (I had fingerings on hand)
  
• c panko bread crumbs
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1 T dijon mustard
  
• worcestershire sauce
  
• tsp salt
  
• pepper
  
• 1 T unsalted butter
  
• 1 T extra virgin olive oil
  

1. Place salmon in water to cover over medium heat and cook until it flakes easily. Cool, remove skin, and flake.

2. Boil peeled and diced potatoes until easily pierced with a knife. Drain and mash.

3. In a bowl, combine salmon, mashed potato, bread crumbs, egg, dijon, worcestershire, salt and pepper. Combine loosely and form into patties (do not overwork). Cover and refrigerate at least 45 minutes and up to a day.

4. Saute patties in olive oil and butter until well browned and cooked through.

Serve with chow, flavored mayo, lemon juice, etc. as you like.
