Fresh Salmon Cakes with Spicy Mayo

1 Make the spicy mayo: In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, mustard, cocktail sauce, Sriracha, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Taste for seasoning and add more Sriracha or lemon juice, if you like. Cover and refrigerate until needed, or up to a 5 days.

2 Cook thesalmon: Turn on the broiler with an oven rack positioned about 8 inches below. Rub a baking dish with oil (any baking dish large enough to hold the salmon is fine). Rub thesalmonon both sides with 1 tablespoon of the oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.

Set it in a baking dish, skin side up, and slide it under the broiler. Broil for 4 minutes, or until the skin is charred.

Turn the oven temperature down to 400 degrees. Continue cooking thesalmonfor 8 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque in the center and the flesh flakes apart easily.
