Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked salmon (or one 14.75 oz canned salmon, drained)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the cooked salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Combine thoroughly to create an even mixture.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a round patty, compact enough to hold together while cooking.
- Heat Oil: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking, preparing it for frying.
- Cook Patties: Place the patties carefully into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Drain Patties: Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the salmon patties warm with tartar sauce, lemon aioli, or your preferred dipping sauce for a flavorful bite.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute breadcrumbs with almond flour.
- Use canned salmon to save time, but cooked fresh salmon works well too.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more paprika or garlic powder if desired.
- Ensure the skillet is at the right temperature to avoid patties falling apart or burning.
- Try serving with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
