Equipment

Ingredients
  

Spicy Mexican Salmon Patties

  • 1 pound fresh salmon - pin bones and skin removed; fine mince (see Step-by-Step Instruction in post for details!)
  • 1 ear corn off the cob - or frozen
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper - fine dice
  • 2 scallions - finely chopped
  • 2 jalapenos - minced (or to taste)
  • ¼ cup cilantro - finely chopped
  • ¼ cup cotija (1 ounce) - crumbled
  • 1 egg - beaten
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chipotle powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt and ground pepper

Spinach Salad

Instructions

Spicy Mexican Salmon Patties

  • Hand chop prepared salmon fillet. Mixture can have a variety of sized pieces, but the largest should be about 1/4" dice.
  • Add remaining ingredients. Combine by hand.
  • Spray a griddle with cooking spray, and bring to medium-high heat. Form 4 patties, and gently place on hot griddle. Cook until nicely browned, then turn and finish (about 8-10 minutes).

Salad

  • Toss spinach and tomatoes with enough of the dressing to lightly coat.

To Serve

  • Plate about 1/4 of the salad. Top with a salmon patty and avocado slices. Drizzle with additional dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

Chilling patties for 15 minutes before cooking to help them hold together.
As mentioned in the post, I use two different dressings on this dish: 1. Cilantro-Jalapeño Ranch Dressing. 2. Citrus Vinaigrette. On photo day, I chose the Cilantro-Jalapeño Ranch Dressing. Keep it fresh with fresh (not bottled) dressing!
