Salmon Cakes with Brown Butter Mayo

So, I am not really familiar with cooking salmon. But recently I bought a few filets and tried out a recipe. Needless to say, the first time cooking salmon it gave my roommate sever stomach issues. You win some, you lose some I guess. But I tried again, this time with a different method. I've always liked crab cakes. So I thought I'd make salmon cakes. I also thought I'd improvise a new dressing to dip the cakes in because they would be too bland without something complimenting it.

Salmon Cakes with Brown Butter Mayo

2 small salmon filets
4 tblsp salted butter
Salt
Pepper
1 1/2 cups Italian Bread Crumbs (or any flavored bread crumbs)
2 tblsp mayo

Season salmon with salt and pepper. Melt and brown the butter in the skillet. When the butter is browned, cook the salmon medium heat 3 - 4 minutes on each side. Salmon is done whenever it flakes against a fork. Save extra browned butter from pan.

Flake the salmon into pieces and add to a medium mixing bowl. Add mayo and bread crumbs.Form into patties and add oil to a new skillet. Sear patties 3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

To make the brown butter mayo take the leftover brown butter from the pan and add to 5 tblsp mayo. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir. Serve aside salmon cakes.
