Easy Spicy Salmon Cakes

Looking to add some interest to an easy dinner recipe? Five-spice may be your new best friend. What is five-spice powder? A mixture of these five spices: cinnamon, clove, fennel, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns. (There are regional recipes in China that include more spices, including white pepper, nutmeg and orange peel.) It adds a distinct warm flavor to these healthy salmon cakes. If you don't have leftover salmon, you can use drained canned salmon.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups flaked cooked salmon
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chinese five-spice powder
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup neutral oil, such as canola or avocado

Directions:

  1. Combine salmon, eggs, onion, cilantro, chile-garlic sauce, soy sauce and five-spice powder in a large bowl. Fold in breadcrumbs. Form into four 3-inch-wide patties.
  2. Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cakes and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes total.
