Fresh wild-caught Alaska salmon is one of the most amazing flavors of summer and Whole Foods Market is particularly careful about where it comes from. For a decade, we’ve been offering seafood from MSC-certified sustainable fisheries and wild Alaska salmon is just one example. Supporting a long-term supply of seafood is worth it, and like most everything so incredible there are ways to take just a small delectable amount and stretch it so more people can enjoy it.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons 365 Everyday Value Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1 pound skinless wild-caught salmon fillet
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 zucchini (about 1 pound), finely grated and squeezed firmly to remove excess water
1 tablespoon 365 Everyday Value Organic Dijon Mustard
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup 365 Everyday Value Plain Bread Crumbs
Lemon wedges

Method

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon all over with salt and pepper then cook, flipping once, until golden brown and just cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Once cool, break into small flakes in a bowl, removing any bones. Add zucchini, mustard, egg and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and toss gently to combine.

Form salmon mixture into 16 (3-inch) patties, coating each lightly in breadcrumbs. Heat remaining oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook half the patties, flipping once, until deep golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt; repeat process with remaining patties. Serve salmon cakes hot, with lemon wedges on the side.
