A delightful twist on classic salmon cakes, these spiced salmon patties incorporate the sweetness of apple and the warmth of curry spices for a flavorful dish.
Break up the salmon in a mixing bowl using a fork.
Ensure the salmon is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.
Add the egg, grated apple, chopped green onions, mayonnaise, curry powder, paprika, and bread crumbs to the bowl.
Mix gently to maintain a light texture in the patties.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the consistency with additional bread crumbs if needed.
The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape when formed into patties.
Shape the mixture into four equal patties and place them on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Chilling helps the patties firm up and enhances the flavor.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when the patties are added.
Cook the patties in the pan for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Serve the patties warm with your choice of sides or a dipping sauce.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
