For the Caprese Salmon Cakes
Method
Instructions
Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, diced mozzarella, diced cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, beaten egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Form the Cakes
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick. You should be able to make approximately 8-10 salmon cakes.
Cook the Cakes
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon cakes in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
