Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Patties

  • 1 can (14.75 oz) canned salmon, drained and flaked
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the drained and flaked canned salmon with the egg, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion if using, mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Form Patties: Shape the salmon mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick, handling gently so they hold together.
  3. Heat the Pan: Heat the vegetable or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  4. Pan-Fry the Patties: Place the salmon patties carefully into the hot skillet, cooking in batches if necessary without crowding the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of sides or dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For a crispier texture, toast the breadcrumbs before mixing.
  • Adding finely chopped celery or bell pepper can add extra crunch and flavor.
  • Serve with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • These patties can be baked at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes as a healthier alternative.
