Ingredients

Directions

When poaching salmon, whether to serve on its own or to use as an ingredient, season your liquid well with white wine, peppercorns, celery leaves, fresh parsley and a bay leaf for greatest flavor.

Combine water, wine, bay leaf, peppercorns, parsley and celery leaves in a shallow 8x8 inch pan.

Slowly bring to a boil, reduced to a simmer and add salmon steaks.

Simmer until salmon is just cooked through - 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness.

Remove with a slotted spatula, drain and cool slightly.

Flake salmon into a bowl (do not break it up too much); discard skin and bones.

To the salmon add corn, shallots, red pepper, celery and cilantro.

Fold together gently with a rubber spatula.

Combine yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard and hot red pepper sauce in a separate bowl Fold into salmon mixture.

Season with salt and pepper.

Gently fold the egg, egg whites and 1/4 cup of the cracker crumbs into the salmon mixture.

Form into 8 large or 12 medium-sized patties.

Lay some cracker crumbs on a plate and coat the patties on both sides, using more crumbs as needed.

Refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 hour.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Cook salmon corncakes a few at a time until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Add more oil to skillet as needed.

Serve immediately with Festival Corn Salsa alongside.
