Method
Step 1
Prepare the Salmon Mixture: Combine salmon meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onion, dill, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Shape and Chill the Patties: Form the mixture into patties, each about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up. This step helps the patties maintain their shape during frying.
Step 3
Prepare the Avocado Dill Cream: While the patties chill, blend the avocado, sour cream, dill, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor until smooth. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Chill the cream in the refrigerator until ready to use to enhance the flavors.
Step 4
Fry the Salmon Cakes: Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chilled salmon patties until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 5
Serve: Arrange the salmon cakes on plates and top each with a dollop of the avocado dill cream. Garnish with additional chopped dill and serve with a lemon wedge. For an extra touch, garnish with additional dill or lemon zest.
