Name: Creamy Lemon Herb Dipping Sauce
Total time: 40 min

Why This Recipe Works

For a salmon cake recipe that would produce crisp, browned, bright-flavored cakes, we chopped fresh fillets by hand, used a bit of mayonnaise as a binder and fresh bread crumbs for texture, and flavored the cakes with a simple combination of onion, lemon juice, and parsley. Freezing the salmon cakes for 15 minutes before breading made them easier to handle and helped the breading to adhere.

Instructions

Mix all ingredients in small bowl; season to taste with ground black pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until flavors blend, at least 30 minutes.
