# Instructions:
01 -
Take out any leftover bones or skin from the salmon. Chop it finely and toss it into a big mixing bowl. Prep a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper and set it to the side.
02 -
Grab another clean bowl and mix together the mayo, soy sauce, fish sauce, sambal oelek, chopped garlic, grated ginger, lime zest and juice, diced red onion, cilantro, mint, green onions, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of breadcrumbs. Stir everything together lightly.
03 -
Add your chopped salmon into the bowl with the mixed ingredients. Use your hands for the best results and stir it all together until it’s well combined.
04 -
Form the mixture into 6 or 7 patties. Lay them out on the parchment-lined baking sheet, then pop them in the fridge to rest for at least 2 hours.
05 -
Combine the ½ cup of breadcrumbs with both the black and white sesame seeds in a wide, shallow dish or plate.
06 -
Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high. Take each patty and coat it evenly with the breadcrumb-sesame mix. Cook a few at a time for 4 minutes, flip, and cook another 4 or 5 minutes. Check the center is safe to eat at 145°F. Repeat with the remaining patties.
07 -
Enjoy them straight away on a bed of greens or slide them into a soft bun.
