Salmon Cakes
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 2: Combine egg, half the breadcrumbs, chopped herbs, green onions, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, mustard, 1/4 tsp coarse salt, cayenne and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl.
Step 3: Put the remainder of the breadcrumbs into a separate shallow bowl. Discard fish skin. Crumble fish into bowl, sifting to uncover any bones. Mix thoroughly.
Step 4: Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray or olive oil. Form the fish mixture into small cakes or “stick” shapes, about 1/3″ thick. Dip both sides of the fish cakes into breadcrumbs and place on the cookie sheet. Bake at 400°F for about 5 minutes, then broil for about 90 seconds until golden. Turn off broiler, remove sheet from pan and carefully flip cakes. Bake another five minutes and then broil until the top is golden another 90 seconds. Serve warm with Avocado Basil Dressing (see below).
