For Salmon Cakes

For Dill Hollandaise Sauce

    Directions

    Easy and delicious, these Salmon Cakes with Dill Hollandaise Sauce are crisp on the outside, tender inside, and finished with a silky, lemon‑dill hollandaise that comes together in minutes. Perfect as a 30‑minute meal, they shine as a summer appetizer for the 4th of July, a springtime Easter dish, or a light seafood entrée. With simple ingredients like salmon, panko, sour cream, and fresh dill, these patties are quick to prepare and fry to golden perfection. The hollandaise — made with mayonnaise, butter, lemon juice, and dill — is a shortcut version that delivers all the richness without the fuss. Serve with slices of beefsteak tomato and dill pickles for a refreshing, colorful plate.

    Step1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pat salmon dry with a paper towel, salt and pepper both sides. Drizzle salmon with olive oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Allow salmon to cool enough to where it can be handled.

    Step2

    While the salmon cooks and cools, prepare the hollandaise sauce. In a small bowl, combine 2/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Set aside.

    Step3

    Once salmon has cooled, shred with two forks.

    Step4

    Add 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs to a large bowl and 1/4 cup of water, stirring until the mixture is combined. Allow breadcrumbs to sit for a couple of minutes and soften.

    Step5

    Add salmon to the breadcrumbs. Chop fresh dill and add 1/2 teaspoon to the salmon mixture, along with 1 teaspoon of garlic salt. Next, add 1/2 cup of sour cream and stir until everything is combined. Form salmon mixture into patties approximately 3 inches in diameter.

    Step6

    Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add olive oil to the skillet. Fry the patties in batches about 3-4 minutes each side or until golden brown.

    Step7

    Once salmon cakes are done frying, plate with slices of beefsteak tomato, Dill Pickles and dill hollandaise sauce. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill.

    Step8

    Enjoy!
