    How to Make Crispy Salmon Patties with Asparagus and Zesty Lemon-Parsley Sauce

    1. Prepare Lemon-Parsley Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 minced scallion, 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley, salt, and ground black pepper to taste. Stir until well mixed. Set aside.

    2. Prepare Salmon Mixture

    In a food processor, pulse 1 slice of hearty white bread until crumbs form. Add 450 grams skinless salmon, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 minced scallion, salt, and ground black pepper to taste. Pulse until well combined but still slightly chunky.

    3. Form Salmon Patties

    Divide the salmon mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty about ½ inch thick.

    4. Cook Salmon Patties

    In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon patties until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.

    5. Cook Asparagus

    In a separate skillet, heat a little vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 450 grams trimmed asparagus and cook, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

    6. Serve

    Divide the salmon patties and asparagus among 4 plates. Serve with the lemon-parsley sauce on the side.

    Variations

    Protein Swaps

    Crab Cakes with Snap Peas and Dill-Yogurt Sauce, Chicken Croquettes with Green Beans and Honey-Mustard Sauce, or Black Bean Cakes with Corn Salsa and Cilantro-Lime Crema for vegetarian options.

    Sauce Flavor Swaps

    Try Avocado-Cilantro Sauce, Spicy Aioli, or Tahini Sauce to complement the flavors of your protein and vegetable sides.

    Vegetable Side Swaps

    Experiment with roasted or steamed broccoli, cauliflower, root vegetables, or sautéed greens like spinach or kale.

    Global Flavors

    For an Asian twist, add ginger and soy sauce to the salmon, and serve with wasabi mayo. Go Mediterranean with sun-dried tomatoes, olives in the patties, and tzatziki sauce.

    Crust Alternatives

    Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter crust or crushed almonds for a nutty, gluten-free option. Add grated Parmesan to the mixture for an umami kick.
