Crispy, golden salmon cakes with spinach, feta, lemon, and herbs — a Mediterranean-inspired delight.
500g fresh salmon fillets (or canned, drained)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
Salt & pepper, to taste
2–3 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Greek yogurt with lemon & dill
Fresh salad or pita bread
Prepare the salmon: If using fresh salmon, steam, bake, or poach until just cooked through, then flake into a large mixing bowl. If using canned, drain well before adding.
Mix the filling: Add spinach, feta, onion, garlic, dill or parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper to the salmon. Mix gently until well combined.
Shape the cakes: Form the mixture into small patties, about 6–8 depending on size.
Cook to golden perfection: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
Serve & enjoy: Plate with Greek yogurt sauce, a fresh salad, or warm pita bread for a complete meal.
