Harissa Orange Salmon Patties

These patties start like most other salmon or tuna cakes, by binding fresh or canned salmon together with breadcrumbs and an egg. They’re seasoned with orange zest and harissa paste, then seared until golden-brown and finished with a sweet-and-spicy glaze made from honey, orange juice, and harissa paste. It’s so delicious and simple to make that it’s become a weekly staple in my kitchen. Once you try it, it might become one of your favorites too.
