Ingredients

  • 1 2-pound side of salmon, skin on
  • 1/2 cup red onion diced
  • 2 tablespoon matzo meal
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 1/2 cup diced mango
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 jalapeno seeded and finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and line a large sheet pan with baking paper. Bake salmon skin side down for 25 to 30 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool completely.
  • Once salmon is cooled, gently flake away from the skin and break into large chunks. Place in a large bowl and combine with eggs, red onion, matzo meal, salt and pepper. Stir to mix well, adding more matzo meal if needed to form patties. Scoop about 1/3 cup at a time into your hands and form into a round patty. Place on a sheet pan and repeat with remaining mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine pineapple, mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Fry cakes for about 5 to 8 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  • To serve, top each cake with a few tablespoons of salsa.
