Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to gather for these savory patties:
- 1 can (14.75 oz) of salmon, drained, bones removed
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works great for extra crunch)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
Feel free to swap the canned salmon with fresh, cooked salmon if you prefer. And if you’re out of Panko breadcrumbs, any breadcrumbs will do in a pinch!
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the drained salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, eggs, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Using your hands, mix everything together until well combined. Shape the mixture into patties, about 2.5 inches in diameter.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the patties are cooking, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and honey (if using) in a small bowl to make the lemon garlic sauce.
- Once the patties are done, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the salmon patties warm, drizzled with the lemon garlic sauce.
These steps are as forgiving as they are straightforward, perfect for a home cook looking for a little ease in the kitchen.
