Creating Spicy Cajun Salmon Sliders with Bold Garlic Aioli is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to make your sliders:
1. Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into chunks and place it in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped, but not pureed.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the chopped salmon, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, breadcrumbs (if using), and Dijon mustard. Mix until just combined.
3. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
4. Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Make the Aioli: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
6. Toast Buns: If desired, lightly toast the slider buns in the same skillet for added texture.
7. Assemble the Sliders: Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Place a salmon patty on top, followed by lettuce and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
8. Serve Immediately: Serve the sliders warm, alongside your favorite sides.
