Ingredients

How to make it

  • Pat salmon dry and with a sharp knife cut roughly into 1/3"-cubes
  • In a medium bowl lightly beat egg and gently stir in salmon and remaining ingredients until just combined.
  • Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat and, working in batches, drop 2-tablespoon measures of salmon mixture about 1 inch apart into skillet. Cook cakes unil undersides are golden, about 1 minute. Turn cakes over and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer cakes as cooked to a platter.
  • To prepare the dipping sauce, pulse the mayonnaise, tarragon and 1/3 cup sour cream together in a food processor until smooth.
  • Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in remaining cup sour cream, chives, lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.

    You are so right, fresh salmon, makes all the difference. I have a similar recipe which uses cornmeal instead of bread crumbs. Your sauce sounds delicious. Great post.
