1
Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water.

2
Place salmon in the pan, cover and cook over high heat until simmering.

Then reduce heat to low and cook for about 5 minutes.
-
4
Remove from heat, drain the water and let salmon cool by placing it in your fridge for 20 minutes or so.
-
5
Dont worry if the salmon is not thoroughly cooked through as the salmon cakes will be cooked as well.
-
6
Once its cooled a bit, use a fork and flake the salmon into a bowl (my kids love doing this part).

Add to that the scallions, parsley, breadcrumbs, red pepper, mayo, mustard and egg.

Combine well with your hands or a spatula.

Roasted Pepper-Olive Aioli:
-
11
Broil the pepper in your oven on a piece of foil for a few minutes, turing occasionally, to evenly brown the skin.
-
12
The skin begins to blister when they are done.
-
13
Dont overcook or blacken.
-
14
This will just take a few minutes (but it brings out great flavor).
-
15
Once pepper is cool enough to handle, cut it apart, discarding the guts and seeds.
-
16
Cut it into chunks and place in your food processor.
-
17
Give it a few pluses.
-
18
Add the rest of the ingredients, pulse until smooth.
-
19
Cover until ready to serve.
-
20
To cook the salmon cakes, place 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in your frying/saute pan and heat the oil over medium high heat.
-
21
Carefully place the cakes in the pan and over medium heat, cook about 2-3 minutes a side.
-
22
Serve with aioli and enjoy!

This aioli is tasty and can even be served as a spread on slices of baguette!
