Nutritional Information for small cake with no topping.


Ingredients:

Salmon, no skin, cut into 1/4 inch cubes - 1 lb.


Worcestershire Sauce - 1 tsp
Cayenne – 1/4 tsp
Lemon Juice – 1 Tbsp
Shallots, cut into a small dice – 2 Tbsp
Mayonnaise – 3 Tbsp
Dijon Mustard – 2 tsp
Bread Crumbs – 1/2 cup
Salt – 1/2 tsp
Mayonnaise - 1 cup
Wasabi Paste - 1 1/2 tsp (start with 1 tsp and then determine if you want it hotter)
Shallots, small dice - 1/2 cup

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mix: 1 cup mayonnaise, wasabi paste and 1/2 cup small-diced shallots. Set aside.

2. In medium-sized bowl, mix all remaining ingredients and roll into a log that is approximately 2 1/2 inches thick. Cover with plastic wrap and place in freezer for 5-10 minutes to firm.

3. Slice salmon log into cakes or roll salmon balls into desired size and flatten to form small cakes.

For Stovetop: Heat 3 Tbsp of Olive Oil on medium-high heat in a skillet large enough to hold the cakes. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side and about 1 to 2 minutes on the other or until crispy brown on the outside and just cooked through.

For Oven: Place cakes on cookie tray and spray with cooking spray. Place in 350 degree oven and bake for 8 minutes per side until firm, cooked through and starting to brown.

For Grill: Spray grill racks with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent burgers from sticking. Start grill on medium high heat. Place salmon burgers on prepared grill and grill for 6-8 minutes per side until firm, cooked through and starting to brown.

4. Top cooked cakes with wasabi aioli and enjoy!
