Stir the eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and white pepper together in a large bowl until smooth with no lumps. Mix in the bell pepper, parsley, and onion. Add the salmon and toss gently to keep some chunks intact. Add the crushed saltines, tossing just enough to combine.

Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to portion the mixture into 12 cakes. Lightly press the remaining saltine crumbs onto both the top and bottom of each cake. Set them on a parchment-lined plate, separating layers with more parchment. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 of the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Gently place 1/2 of the patties into the hot oil and pan-fry for 4 minutes. Turn carefully and pan-fry for another 4 minutes. Check the color so they brown without burning.

Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining oil and butter, and pan-fry the remaining patties the same way. Garnish the salmon cakes with fresh parsley and lemon slices.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
