Salmon Cakes with Alouette® Dipping Sauces
  • 6.5 oz. pkg. Alouette® Peppercorn Parmesan Spreadable cheese
  • 6.5 oz. pkg. Alouette® Light Cucumber Dill Spreadable cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk, divided
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp. grated fresh lime peel
  • 1/2 tsp. grated fresh lemon peel
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 lb. skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 3 Tbsp. flour, plus extra for dusting cakes
  • 4 large scallions, minced
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. asparagus, steamed
  1. In two small bowls, empty each Alouette® cheese into its own bowl. To the Alouette® Peppercorn Parmesan add 2 Tbsp. milk, cilantro and lime peel. To the Light Cucumber Dill, add 2 Tbsp. milk and lemon peel. Combine both until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat shallot in 1 Tbsp. hot oil until tender, about 1 minute. Add wine and 2/3 cup water. Bring to a boil. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat. Cover and let sit 5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs. Add salmon, scallions, flour, salt and pepper. Fluff couscous with a fork. Add couscous to salmon mixture. Stir until combined and sticky. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup as a scoop, divide the salmon mixture into 18 portions. Place onto a generously floured sheet pan. Using floured hands, pat into 3" round cakes.
  4. In a large non-stick skillet, heat remaining oil. Sprinkle a little flour over each cake. Gently pick up and place into the hot oil. Cook cakes until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with asparagus and cheese sauces.
