Health benefits of Salmon Cakes with Cucumber Dill Salad

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 lb. salmon (skin removed), diced
1 shallot, minced (3 tbsp.)
2 tbsp. capers
1 Garlic clove, minced
Zest of 1 lemon, divided
2 tbsp. lemon juice, divided
6 tbsp. fresh dill, divided
1 egg white
1/2 c. panko bread crumbs
1/2 c. Greek yogurt
kosher salt
Black pepper
2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 2 c.)

Instructions

In a food processor, combine salmon, shallot, capers, garlic, 3 teaspoons lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons dill and pulse several times to combine. Add egg white and panko crumbs and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl. Divide salmon mixture into 8 patties.
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt with remaining lemon zest and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to use.
In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar and olive oil. Add cucumber, onion, and remaining dill and toss gently to combine.
Season salmon patties with salt and pepper. Heat a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon patties until golden and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Serve salmon cakes with cucumber salad, yogurt dip, and lemon wedges.
