Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the cake mixture
- Working over 1 medium and 1 small bowl, crack the egg and separate the white and yolk, carefully dropping the white into the medium bowl and the yolk into the small bowl. Save the yolk for another use. [Separate both eggs; save both yolks for another use.] Using a fork or whisk, lightly beat the egg white until frothy.
- Peel the onion; thinly slice half and set aside for the salad. Finely chop enough of the remaining onion to measure ½ cup. [Peel and thinly slice 1 onion; finely chop enough of the remaining onion to measure 1 cup.]
- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; set aside half the leaves for the salad. Coarsely chop the remaining leaves.
- Pat the seafood dry with a paper towel. (If using skin-on salmon, remove and discard the skin. If using jumbo shrimp, remove and discard the tails.) Coarsely chop the seafood.
To the bowl with the egg white, add the chopped onion, chopped parsley, flaxseed meal, and mustard, season generously with salt and pepper, and stir until blended. Add the seafood and stir until just combined. Cover and refrigerate, about 10 minutes, until ready to cook (see Chef’s Tip).

Make the celery-radish salad
- Thinly slice the celery on the diagonal.
- Cut the radishes in half, then cut the halves into thin half-moons.
- Zest the lemon and juice half, keeping the zest and juice separate; cut half into wedges for garnish. [Zest both lemons; juice 1 lemon and cut 1 lemon into wedges.]
In a medium bowl, toss together the celery, radishes, sliced onion, remaining parsley leaves, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Shape and cook the cakes
Using wet hands, form the seafood mixture into four [eight] ¾-inch-thick patties.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 teaspoons [1 TBL] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the cakes and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Serve
Transfer the cakes and celery-radish salad to individual plates and drizzle the cakes with half the tahini goddess dressing. Serve the remaining dressing and lemon wedges on the side.
