Incredibly tender and flavorful, especially with spicy mayo sauce.
This meal thrilled us as kids and it was an easy cooking night for her.
This is also a great way to use up leftover salmon from another meal!

In a hot oven, most cuts of salmon take about 10 minutes per inch to cook.
I start it under the broiler to char the skin, which flavors the flesh.
Some cocktail sauce, fresh dill, and Worcestershire get added for flavor.

Pat the cakes lightly with flour and fry them in oil until the outsides are crisp.
Taste for seasoning and add more Sriracha or lemon juice, if you like.
Cover and refrigerate until needed, or up to a 5 days.

Turn on the broiler with an oven rack positioned about 8 inches below.
Rub a baking dish with oil (any baking dish large enough to hold the salmon is fine).
Set it in a baking dish, skin side up, and slide it under the broiler.
Sheryl Julian
Broil for 4 minutes, or until the skin is charred.
Turn the oven temperature down to 400F.
Let cool until cool enough to handle.
Sheryl Julian
Peel away and discard the skin.
Transfer the fish to a bowl and gently flake it into small pieces with your hands or a fork.
You should have about 4 cups of flaked salmon.

Tear the dinner roll into 1-inch pieces and add to the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse until the mixture is blended and still a little chunky.
(Do not process so long that the mixture becomes a paste.)
Add the egg mixture to the salmon mixture and stir thoroughly with your hands or a spatula.
Dust a cutting board with the flour.
With your hands, shape the salmon mixture into 8 patties.
Sprinkle them lightly with flour and set on a large plate or baking sheet.
Set the oven at 250F.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil.
Add 4 of the cakes and cook without disturbing for 4 minutes, or until golden on the undersides.
Turn and cook 4 minutes more, or until golden.
Transfer to the baking dish and keep warm in the oven.
Fry the remaining 4 cakes in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same way.
Serve warm with the spicy mayo.
