  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs, divided

  • 1/4 cup reduced fat Greek yougurt
  • 1 teaspoon snipped fresh dill
  • 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Place salmon on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 14-17 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Cool slightly; remove skin, if necessary. Transfer salmon to a shallow dish; refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours or until chilled.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir onion until tender. Stir in parsley.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup bread crumbs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, remaining pepper and onion mixture; if desired, add pepper sauce. Flake salmon; add to bread crumb mixture, mixing lightly. Shape into eight 2-1/2-in. patties.

Step 4

Place egg whites and remaining bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip salmon patties in egg whites, then roll in crumbs to coat. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spritz tops with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 14-17 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix sauce ingredients; serve with salmon cakes. Yield: 4 servings.
