Salmon Cakes:

  • 1.5 lb fresh salmon (pouch or canned salmon can be used, but fresh is best)
  • 2-3 Tbsp Dizzy Pig Bayou-ish (separated)
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2-3 Tbsp of Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup cilantro

Dipping Sauce:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2-3 scallions, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp Dizzy Pig Bayou-ish

Directions

  1. Light BGE and let coals get very, very hot (about 500-550°F to preheat cast iron griddle).
  2. Remove the skin and cut the salmon into 1″ cubes.
  3. Process salmon cubes and cilantro in food processor until a paste forms.
  4. Transfer mixture into bowl and fold in remaining ingredients.
