Maybe you grew up eating Salmon Cakes like we did? They were kind of a staple of Tupperware party-era cooking, and we still love them. Especially when you make them this way, with fresh scallions and lemon zest, served on top of delicious arugula, and topped with a Greek yogurt-Dijon-horseradish sauce.
Ingredients
Directions
- Using a fork, combine the salmon, scallion, lemon zest, 3 tablespoons yogurt, 1 teaspoon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of the horseradish in a medium bowl. Add the wheat germ and celery and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
- Coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat about 1 minute.
- Mix the capers, lemon juice, and oil in a medium bowl.
- Add the arugula to the medium bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving plate, forming a bed of the arugula mixture. Set aside.
- Divide the salmon mixture into 2 round patties, each 1⁄2" thick. Reduce the heat to low and add the patties to the skillet. Cook 2 minutes per side, then flip and cook 1 minute more, or until heated through and lightly browned.
- Place on top of the reserved arugula mixture.
- Combine the remaining 1⁄2 tablespoon yogurt, 1 teaspoon mustard, and 1 teaspoon horseradish in a small bowl. Spoon on top of the salmon cakes.
