These Zesty Southwestern Salmon Cakes are a delightful twist on a classic dish, packed with bold flavors and a crispy texture.
Combine the cooked salmon, red onion, bell pepper, cilantro, chives, garlic powder, lime juice, sriracha sauce, egg, breadcrumbs, and cheese in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the salmon is flaked well to help the mixture bind together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling helps the patties hold their shape during cooking.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the patties for a crispy exterior.
Form the chilled mixture into patties and cook in the skillet for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the salmon cakes warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Garnish with extra cilantro or a wedge of lime for added freshness.
