Salmon Cakes with Yogurt Aioli

Ingredients

• 1 pound cooked salmon or 14¾-ounce can salmon
• 2 green onions, finely chopped, (including green parts)
• 2 egg whites
• ½ cup canned corn, drained
• ½ red pepper, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¼ cup plus 1 Tablespoon whole-wheat bread crumbs
• 1 Tablespoon avocado or coconut oil

Yogurt aioli

• ¼ cup plain yogurt
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Seasoned Cook: The secret to holding the cakes together is to refrigerate the salmon mixture before cooking, so the breadcrumbs absorb moisture from the other ingredients.

Method

• Flake salmon and mix with next six ingredients. Add ¼ cup of the breadcrumbs and mix well. Refrigerate mixture for at least 15 minutes.
• Form into 4 cakes. Dust each side with remaining breadcrumbs.
• Put oil in pan and bring to medium heat. Add the cakes and cook until outside turns brown, approximately 3 minutes. Turn over and fry another 2 minutes until bottom is brown.
• Top with yogurt aioli and serve.
