I haven’t done a “cooking for one” recipe in a while, and this is a good way to start. Normally, I pan fry cakes or croquettes, but this is so good and so much easier. You could use tuna instead of salmon, or just skip all the mixing and use the topping on a chicken breast.
Potato Crunch Salmon Cakes (Cooking for One)
Ingredients
- 1 can ( 7.5 oz ) salmon, drained well (or use leftover salmon)
- 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 TBSP capers or chopped dill pickles
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp granulated onion powder

Cakes
Aioli
Instructions
- In a bowl, flake salmon and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour.
- When you remove mixture from fridge, heat oven to 400.
- Form two cakes. I placed them on parchment, on a small baking sheet.
- Mix all ingredients except chips.
- Smear top of each cake with mayonnaise mixture.
- Sprinkle top with chips.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden.
- Serve plain with a side, or make a sandwich with onions and pickles. Either way, it's delicious.
- I used my homemade mayonnaise for this, and it turns dark after it's baked, from the spices.
