Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon (cooked and flaked)
  • 1/2 cup green onions (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 1/2 cups Panko bread crumbs (plain)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional)
  • Zest of one lemon
  • Canola or vegetable oil (to cook the patties, about 1 inch depth in skillet)

Instructions

  1. Bake the Salmon: Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Place the salmon skin-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, brush with olive oil, and bake uncovered for 10 minutes until cooked through.
  2. Flake the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the oven. Discard the skin and carefully flake the salmon with a fork. Remove any bones if present to ensure a smooth texture.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon with green onions, garlic, grated ginger, panko breadcrumbs, Italian herbs, paprika, dried parsley, salt, pepper, eggs, mayo, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly using your hands until well incorporated.
  4. Form Patties: Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to portion the mixture evenly and form into round patties, ensuring each patty is about the same size to cook evenly.
  5. Cook Patties: Heat canola or vegetable oil in a skillet to about 1-inch depth over medium-high heat until sizzling. Carefully add the patties to the pan. Fry each side for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning gently to maintain shape.
  6. Serve: Drain the cooked salmon patties on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm as is with your favorite dipping sauce, on top of salads, with rice, or as delicious salmon burgers in buns.

Notes

  • Ensure salmon is fully cooked when baking to avoid undercooked patties.
  • Removing bones from the salmon is important for a pleasant eating experience.
  • Use canola or vegetable oil for frying due to their high smoke points and neutral flavor.
  • Panko breadcrumbs give the patties a light, crispy texture; plain breadcrumbs may make them denser.
  • Adjust seasoning and hot sauce amounts to taste.
  • These patties are best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated.
