Trawl-Free Recipe by Chef Rachel Hull, Bear Tooth Grill
The Bear Tooth Grill owners are committed to local sourcing and sustainable fishing methods.
A note from Chef Rachel: As a lifelong Alaskan, it is my role and duty to protect the sustainability of our precious oceans and natural resources. As a Chef, it is an essential part of my commitment to be intentional about my sourcing. Especially when you work for a restaurant group as large as ours, the power of our purchasing can influence market availability, diner demand, and community education on ethical issues like trawling. We are committed to supporting local purveyors and businesses, keeping as much of our money in Alaska as possible, and using our platform to support meaningful change and education efforts. We are proud to offer 100% Alaskan trawl-free fish on all of our menu items and proud to host fundraisers and movies highlighting the importance of environmental conservation.
These salmon patties are very versatile and can be served as an appetizer, a breakfast, a slider-sized burger, or 3 at a time as an entree. Recommended pairings include roasted red pepper coulis, caper tartar sauce, cabbage, pickled red onions, fresh jalapenos, verde salsa, and more! Salmon patties can be frozen flat after breading and hold well in the freezer for up to 3 months with proper storage. They should be fully thawed in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
Yields approximately 15 patties.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. salt & pepper blend
- 1/4 c capers
- 1/4 c jalapeno peppers, minced
- 1/4 c fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp. baby dill, chopped
- 1/4 c Dijon mustard
- 1/2 c mayonnaise
- 1 lb. salmon fillet
- 1/2 c whipped eggs
- 1/2 c panko
- 1/2 c all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
Directions
Place salmon on a sprayed baking sheet, skin side down, and sprinkle the salt and pepper blend over the top. Bake for about 10-13 minutes or until it reaches an internal temp of 145°F. Cool salmon, remove skin, break salmon up in a mixing bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients excluding flour, egg and panko. Fold together gently. Do not overmix. Scoop about 2 ounces out at a time, roll and flatten out into patties. Shoot for approximately an English muffin thickness.
Once all the patties are formed, coat each in flour, making sure to knock the extra flour off, then dip in whipped eggs, and bread in panko. Chill completely.
Pre-heat oven to 350°F. To cook, place 2 tablespoons of oil into a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties in the pan for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Finish in the oven until centers are 130°F.
