Method
 

Preparation and Cooking Steps
  1. Prep the salmon by cooking fresh salmon in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until flaky, or flake canned salmon directly into a bowl.
  2. In the bowl, add egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, parsley, and lemon juice. Fold in panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Divide the mixture into four portions and shape into patties about ¾ inch thick. Optionally roll in extra panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. For the aioli, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, lemon juice, and grated garlic in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and season with salt.
  6. Serve the cakes warm, garnished with the aioli on top or on the side.
