  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; working in batches, brown 6 patties for about 4-5 minutes per side until nice and golden brown. Repeat steps with remaining patties.
  • Patties can also be placed under the broiler and cooked for about 8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve right away with dipping sauce.
  • SPICY DIPPING SAUCE: In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, hot sauce and pepper until combined. Serve with salmon cakes.

Notes

Cook’s Note: Alternately, you can use fresh cooked salmon or left-over salmon in this dish.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the salmon on a sheet pan lined with foil for easy clean-up, skin side down. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until just cooked. Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes and refrigerate until cold.
Use chilled salmon in place of canned salmon.
