Ingredients

4 servings

For the salmon cakes

1 lb cooked salmon, flaked (from about 1 ¼ lb raw fillet, or 2 cans (6 oz each) salmon, drained)
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
Ingredient note
Ground flaxseed only becomes a problem on a low FODMAP diet in larger amounts; this recipe uses only about 3/4 teaspoon per serving, so it is likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid ground flaxseed, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 tbsp water
¾ cup mashed potato, cooled (from about 1 medium russet potato)
⅓ cup breadcrumbs, plus more for coating
2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
1 tbsp dijon mustard
3 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
2 scallions (green tops only), thinly sliced
Ingredient note
The green parts of scallions are low in FODMAPs. Avoid the white bulb which is higher in FODMAPs.
1 tsp lemon zest
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil

For the dill sauce

¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dijon mustard
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp water until combined. Set aside for 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.
2
While the flax egg sets, make the dill sauce: stir together the vegan mayonnaise, 1 tbsp fresh dill, lemon juice, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
