Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Patties
- 2 (6 oz) cans boneless, skinless salmon, drained
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 2 tablespoons oil for frying (vegetable or olive oil)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the drained salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, finely chopped onion, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley until the mixture is well combined.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 6 to 8 evenly sized patties, ensuring they hold together well for frying.
- Heat Oil: Warm the oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking, suitable for pan frying.
- Fry Patties: Carefully place the patties into the skillet and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy the salmon patties warm with lemon wedges or your choice of dipping sauce for added flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute canned salmon with fresh cooked salmon if preferred.
- For an extra crispy crust, coat the patties in additional breadcrumbs before frying.
- Leftover patties reheat well in a skillet or air fryer, maintaining their crispness.
