Ingredients
1.5 pounds skinless center-cut salmon fillets, finely chopped
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon sambal oelek or Sriracha
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 lime, zested and ½ juiced
1 small red onion, finely diced
½ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh mint, finely chopped
3 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs, divided
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the salmon by removing any skin and bones and chopping it finely. Set aside in a large bowl.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, soy sauce, fish sauce, sambal oelek, garlic, ginger, lime zest and juice, red onion, cilantro, mint, green onions, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs.
Add the salmon to the breadcrumb mixture and mix well using hands.
Form the mixture into 6-7 patties and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Mix the remaining ½ cup of panko with the white and black sesame seeds.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Coat each patty in the sesame breadcrumb mix, and fry for about 4 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Serve immediately over fresh greens or in a sandwich.
