Cook's note

Chilling the patties helps them hold together in the pan. Don’t overmix, or the cakes turn dense. Leftover cakes are great cold on a green salad.

Method

  1. In a large bowl, gently mix the salmon, 3/4 cup panko, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon, parsley, lemon zest, salt and pepper until just combined.

  2. Shape into 8 patties about 3/4 inch thick, press them into the remaining panko to coat, and chill for .

  3. Stir together the yogurt, dill, lemon juice and a pinch of salt for the sauce.

  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the cakes per side, until deeply golden and hot through.

  5. Serve warm with the lemon-dill yogurt and lemon wedges.
