Ingredients

• 2 can(s) salmon drained
• 1 cup(s) fresh whole wheat bread crumbs (about 2 slices bread)
• 1 egg lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoon(s) each cooking onion and celery minced
• 1/4 cup(s) finely chopped fresh dill or 1tsp dried
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) lemon zest grated
• 2 tablespoon(s) dried bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon(s) vegetable oil

Preparation

1. 1. In a medium bowl combine salmon, fresh bread crumbs, egg, onion, celery, dill and lemon zest. Shape the mixture into 6 cakes, pressing ingredients firmly together.


2. 2. Place dried breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Press cakes into breadcrumbs on all sides to coat evenly. Salmon cakes can be refrigerated at this point for 8-12 hours.


3. 3. In large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium heat; cook cakes, turning once, until browned on both sides and heated through, about 5 to 6 minutes per side.
